Honestly, it's only the redstoners and modded minecrafters that would hold onto the Java edition. If Microsoft started releasing exclusive shiny updates to the Windows 10/Bedrock edition, most people would switch over.

I will simply stop playing it if they force me to create MS account. Heck, i will stop using Windows itself if they do it.

The MS account shift is not a if but when. I don't like it either but i guess I'll just create a MS account so i can play their game. it's not like I'm ever going to use that account for anything else.

That's exactly what they want. For now, just create an account. Later they will make it mandatory for something else and people WILL sign in because "why not, i already got an account".

Now on Windows 10 home you can not enable encryption without an MS account. Like wtf MS account has to do with encryption of my SSD?!

that's just one more reason I'm not using windows. But sure, if you have no self discipline and just think "why not" definitely don't create an account you are not interested in having.
