You have your timeline confused. When Microsoft bought Mojang, the only version of Minecraft on PC was Java Edition. It wasn't under the next year that they released the Windows 10 Edition (which is what became Bedrock on PC).

I don't think that was a confusion of mine? Microsoft may well have bought Mojang to develop Windows 10 Edition and then once Bedrock Edition became sooo cross-platform they just. Happened to miss macOS. By total mistake. (A port even exists as part of Education Edition and they're not selling it as part of Bedrock Edition.)
