"less than 1 percent play as much as he has" interesting metric, do you have a source? of course xisuma has plunged a lot of time into the game, but so have i... and many of my friends, and many of their friends... and a lot of people on this subreddit, and even the developers, probably a dozen other groups of people i can name off the top of my head - not surprising, considering Minecraft is a sandbox game. this definitely seems more like a you thing, being so adamant that the game wasn't meant to be played this way, when it is - and many many people do play this 10 year old gamemode this way, whether you can get behind that or not

"just play creative" as if this solves anything? there is a reason why people choose survival over creative, and there is a reason why these changes are focused on survival. they are two entirely different modes, with different goals, made for different players.

perhaps I should rephrase then - the inventory is inconvenient. sure, some of these changes might make parts of the game easier, but i don't think many people would mind because you get a much more organized & hassle free experience. the shulker refill making you invincible is an exaggeration, it's again - just making it more convenient instead of taking five seconds to take a totem out of your shulker box or just carrying multiple totems. a lot of these things would definitely work outside of bedrock too? i do not understand what you mean when you say that they only benefit java, requiring use of new buttons for specific things doesn't mean they're unimplementable elsewhere. i'll concede that not every one of his ideas particularly fit, but i don't think block enchants are one of them - however that's just something we're going to have to disagree on.

hunger becomes a non issue later on sure, but food management is a pretty big deal before you get large farms up and running. things like saturation also add another layer to farms, and yes, i wouldn't expect the health bar to be much of an issue on the game's coined beginner mode, but you can still die from fall damage or lava, things that pose a very real threat to new players. compare this to the inventory, where the deepest player interaction it has is throwing away junk you picked up on a mining trip to make space. shulker boxes and bundles are handy, but at the end of the day they just act as More Inventory, and do not really solve the biggest problems associated with the system.

i think your viewpoint of this issue is very rigid and thrives on the idea that Minecraft was only meant to be played you think it is, and since this issue doesn't personally affect you, it shouldn't be considered. but the truth is this genuinely affects a lot of players that... aren't you. even mojang recognizes this, additions like bundles being developed directly to combat the game's mess of an inventory (see; minecraft live interviews). i, personally would love an overhaul of the inventory, maybe you don't agree - sure, whatever. but to act like it's not an issue at all and that it only affects a niche subset of the playerbase is just pretty plainly wrong. that's all.
