I mean Minecraft still gets regular updates so can’t see that it not being discounted is a problem.

Factorio has never been discounted and people are happy with that, I play both and i am happy with both.

Note I’m not commenting on Microsoft’s decision here as frankly I don’t understand it and whether they have an abundance of caution as they don’t know if this person actually owns the account. But morally I think they should just give the dude a new copy of Minecraft as it costs them nothing really.
