I don't know, the bedrock version started in 2011 way before Microsoft bought the studio. It was never free or community-driven, it is cheaper than the Java version, but it doesn't have access to the free modding community. This sounds like a relatively good non-toxic deal to me, either you pay upfront or you suffer the micro-transactions. If you don't have the money, you can still play the full game for a relatively low price.
Your implication that they don't optimize or develop new content for the base game is simply unfounded and proven wrong every year like clockwork.
