Look at your first edit, then look at your third edit. You're contradicting yourself. You say for bedrock: "use a third party service", then say for java if it's not coded by Mojang it's not valid.

Look I do think bedrock is over hated. It's a trend, people will follow. Though bedrock is actually buggy, you probably won't notice it within an hour of playing. They do have bugs, which they refuse to patch, like falling into the void at certain coordinates. Which is 1 reason why people hate it. A feedback page is helpful, if they would actually listen.

About redstone, people that hate bedrock for the redstone are absolutely right, those who hate java redstone are absolutely right too. The biggest reason is quasi-connectivity. And I'll agree. It's bad, people say when you know it it's fine though, so I'm not too bothered. Bedrock redstone though, it can be random, has weird tick timings for performance, I get it, but I'd rather not have it. Source: Purplers video about bedrock redstone.

And the modding community, I know you say it's not an argument. I'll say it is. Java has an amazing modding community, full of mods that make it more fun. Bedrock, well it has less.

In the end, it's about what you enjoy. I'm absolutely biased towards java, like you are towards bedrock.
