The discourse around the Mob Vote has made me realize that Minecraft is a weird game
Mojang can add literally anything, and constantly stuff the game, good or bad, but unless it's a huge overhaul, you can just completely ignore it. The game is also finished, you can start the game and roll credits with a bunch of stuff to do. Between that and the officially endorsed and encouraged modding tools is why I can totally understand the smaller updates we've been getting because, what can you do without changing the identity of the game? They can also just add things for the sake of adding things, but that is also a slippery climb mostly just for workflow and logistical reasons.
It's also why I appreciate how they have been trying to make other games with Minecraft's world, like Minecraft Dungeons, I love that game, and also Legends, I haven't played it but I heard it's good.
