They are more than complete/polished with multiplatform support, with healthy modding communites, & better performance since they aren’t built on Java. In the past your money went to the developers—now it goes to megacorp Microsoft with little done in terms of maintenance.

Minecraft has gotten a lot of updates after Microsoft bought Mojang.

I don't personally mind paying a small amount for a good product that is constantly getting better after many years.

Sure Java could have better performance but it's rare that it matters much on modern computers.

You do you but I don't think paying for things is the end of the world.
