Basically title, this thing with two editions of the game slows down development because they now have to write the same thing twice and it splits the userbase. They also don’t want to make Bedrock edition for Linux for some reason.

      I don’t think JE can be discontinued for the time being without a lot of uproar. The two editions, while similar on the surface, are two very different games underneath and I and quite a few people I know would never touch bedrock with a ten foot pole. Part of that is of course mod support, part of it are the micro transactions and part of that is just some things working just a little bit differently for no apparent reason. The whole thing just feels a bit uncanny every time I’ve tried it.

      Discontinuing JE would destroy the modding scene and be a generally bad thing for players.
