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.

No. That’s the whole point of Java, it’s quite hackable.
It doesn’t need a rewrite TBH, it just needs a little optimization. Heck, a few performance critical components can be written in C++ or whatever within the Java code.
Wouldn’t being hackable allow mojang to add compatibly to the C++ edition? I do agree that it just needs optimization though, some mods like Sodium already do this. Check out Fabolously Optimized
The minecraft mod scene you are describing is built around Java and changing Java code within the game, there is no way around that.
Bedrock already has a modding API of sorts.
Sodium, Optifine and such are all living testaments that some random coder can run circles around Mojang in their free time.
I mean, I love mojang, but what you are asking for is basically not possible.
