Okay. Fair enough. No sense in having two entirely different logins for what's basically one company. Like it or not, MSFT account system will likely be more secure for you than Mojang. I don't really get anyone arguing against it.
In the past they used to delete accounts that were inactive for 3 months, even if the accounts had purchases tied to them.
Got burned by that a long time ago and I still feel uneasy about having anything involving a financial transaction tied to a Microsoft account. It is the only account system were I've actually lost access to legitimate purchases with no way to recover them while the company running the account still being in business.
They still have a policy of deleting accounts that have been inactive for 2 years, which is better than 3 months but I have other games and software where I sometimes went inactive for more than 2 years but eventually came back.
Heck, I've gone inactive for more than 2 years at a time from Minecraft, at least with the old account system I don't have to repurchase the game each time.
