I'm curious as to why bedrock gets the title of minecraft while OG minecraft gets the modifier Java, shouldn't bedrock be called bedrock edition since it is inferior and came after OG minecraft?
The impression I get is that Microsoft has named the Bedrock edition simply 'Minecraft' because that is the version they want everyone playing. It is the flagship Minecraft title.

Maybe but i havent seen this type of naming change used with any other software. Like most new versions or editions will take the name of the product maybe add a modifer to the end if say a new version like kde3 vs kde2 or just call itself the same name and but never have i seen a company retroactive relabel a program
The original version running on java is officially labeled Minecraft: Java edition, but most just call it minecraft, because it is the original version.
Then you went through the phase of having minecraft win10 edition, mcpe, and all of the variation of console editions.
Then, minecraft codenamed the better together version as bedrock, but advertised it as better together, BUT officially just named it "Minecraft" then changed the original from just "Minecraft" to "Minecraft: Java edition"
So, if you are playing on the bedrock version of minecraft, you are supposed to just call it minecraft, even though everyone playing java edition calls their version minecraft, and all of the YouTube videos and tutorials from the last 6 years are all labeled as "Minecraft" even though they are on java, making it hard for players that own "Minecraft" to realize that these java edition videos won't work for them.
Whew... that is confusing.
If they had just left java edition as "Minecraft" and changed every other edition over to "Minecraft: Bedrock" as the official name of the game, the average player would be able to distinguish better between the 2. Right now, people still search for bedrock, or mcpe, or better together, or minecraft, to find bedrock based information, and it's pretty ridiculous.

Haha conart is like the bedrock attack dog. I'm with you though, it's just different, if you're used to java, I can see how you could think it's inferior.
It's just different. One underrated think I like about bedrock a lot better is lighting going through half slabs. Something so little is pretty awesome when it comes to building in this version of the game.

Lol, yeah I guess that's a fair comment! In all seriousness though, does it really matter what the hell the game is called.
It does, it causes a ton of confusion for all of those casual players just trying to look something up from the wiki or on YouTube. The average person sees they have minecraft, and just look up a minecraft tutorial to often find they don't get the sane result as the video they just watched.

Perhaps it's because of the cross platform play with Bedrock Edition, bringing us "better together" to play the game we all love.
I think it would help to clear a lot of ongoing confusion for the player base .

What confusion? Bedrock is an Minecraft:bedrock, java being the original stays just minecraft
Mac,linux, windows <10, xbox 360, raspberry pi, bsd, damn near everything tuat runs java but isn't part of bedrock.

Instead of Minecraft Bedrock, the cross-platform Minecraft version should be called Minecraft Cross-platform! That is what it is.
Why is it inferior?
