Why? It is in their power to rewrite the engine (in rust) and make it everything they want.

It's not like they care about cross version compatibility or something.

Sure they do. There are people who have taken worlds from 10 years ago and brought them all the way to the latest Minecraft release, and breaking changes are done very carefully. The only two substantial nerfs that I can remember are zero-tick farms and fishing farms.
