  Out of curiosity, why do you want bedrock specifically?

  In my experience, Java is much less buggy, plays better, and has significantly better modding support with no microtransaction bs. The only compelling reason I see is cross play.

    You got the answer right there, it’s cross play. When you have child in the family who wants to play Minecraft on their iPad, and a parent who would like to join in on their Mac, you just can’t do it. And that stinks.

    It also feels like relatively low-hanging fruit from a development perspective.

      You could try running a server with geyser. It’s a plug-in that allows bedrock players to connect to Java servers.
