Because Bedrock runs on phones, tablets, consoles, and a host of other random crap

And it also removes Linux support. Typical Microsoft.

To be fair there's a Linux version of the bedrock server. But yeah not having it on the steam deck is pretty annoying.

Go into desktop mode, there's a bedrock launcher in the package manager store thing, I forgot the names of both of those things, but search "Minecraft" and you should find it. Anyway, it basically loads the Android version of the game. It works pretty well. I play bedrock because everyone I play with is on Xbox

Fairly certain I've had both versions working on our steam deck. It's pretty straight forward like you're saying.

Linux and mac and any other x86 compatible platform that runs java…

Yes exactly. Java runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and any x86 compatible operating system that supports the Java runtime environment. Minecraft bedrock removes support for all of those but Windows.

And adds support for Playstation, Xbox, Switch, Android, iOS....

They all had minecraft before bedrock was a thing yet. That legacy minecraft without crossplay just got replaced by bedrock.
