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.

Bedrock was actually just PocketEdition so the rewrite already sort of existed. But like what others have pointed out, if they just killed Java edition, most Java players would likely just stick with the last version and pretend Bedrock doesn’t exist.
I expect they’ll eventually kill Java but they can’t really do that while there’s an active player base and modding community on it.
Personally I wish Bedrock would just disappear but I know that’s not going to happen :/
