there’s been a general shift to BE (Bedrock Edition) over the last few years, but quite a significant part of the active community is playing on JE instead due to more content, less paywalling, and actual mod support (even with BE having some mods and mods on JE split between forge and fabric for now). it’s going to be hard for mojang to give up the JE of the game as that is where the active playerbase lies and most of the people there are unlikely to migrate to BE even after being offered this version of the game for free twice.
