Definitely a good point, Minecraft would have faded without the modding scene, especially performance mods which seem to be the backbone of any Java based playthrough. That's also part of my problem, I don't want to have to download mods to turn off the telemetry, chat reports, a button for their servers that are awful. I'd rather invest my time in an open source solution like minetest or other non MSoft options if I'm relying on mods to remove junk.
