I'm late to the party, I however heard (on the day) when Mojang finally stopped using the mob voting system. I'm happy that nonsense is finally done and over with. Granted, both Mojang and Microsoft shall find a new way of being dumb, but at least we can now have mobs and features when they're ready, not when they're teased and guilt-tripped.

1) Minecraft Retires Mob Vote After Players 'Unionize' to Put an End to It, Promises More Frequent Updates
2) The yearly Minecraft mob vote is dead, players celebrate the death of mob democracy
And then everybody wonders why people hate both Mojang and fake journalism. Yes, this is what people actually desired. Imagine if Red51 had done that for Rising World where you're one day given an option of gliders, trains, and cars. Oh, you voted for cars. Sorry, you can't have trains and gliders anymore.... Just because you voted for cars you're no longer, in a million years, to have trains and gliders. You voted, and now you reap false decisions. Too much guilt-tripping, forced voting, and nonsense. Too many excuses behind the scenes.
This is for the best. Now when a feature is ready it can be released. It genuinely is for the best.

Mojang/Microsoft kills VR/MR Mode:

2 steps forward, one step back. Killing VR Mode only ends up hurting the gameplay experience, especially when you gaslight the VR interaction, population, etc. People genuinely desired to play, they however were put off by official support not being properly implemented, even externally poached by other third-party games now on Steam. You have clones of Minecraft using proper VR implementations to provide the proper VR fun.

And this is why I'm here in the Rising World community so I can play an honest-to-god proper game, even if I have to push and squeeze my way through people pretending to admire Rising World, gaslighting others, or pretending other people are "ducks" when they're simply human, and etc. I genuinely do desire to play Minecraft, and I have via modded side of things with 'Immersive Railway', and other side-mods.
