Download Minecraft iOS for free?

I have a somewhat complicated question to which I have not yet found an answer. Is it possible to get Minecraft as an iOS version for free? I mean, I bought it for the PC in the "Alpha" for 5 euro at the time. Back then, almost no one knew the game. That was in 2009 - just notice how old I'm - well, it doesn't matter. I bought it a few years ago as an Xbox Edition, which has now been remodeled to work across platforms. The Bedrock-Edition… Uhh… Exactly on this Bedrock, the bottom of the facts, I have now arrived. To play it on my iPhone, I have to pay 8 euro again. Sure, not a lot of money, but I just don't see it. Is there somehow a way to be able to download it for free so that you can link your Microsoft account to it in order to play in the worlds / realms on which you are actually active? Would be grateful for helpful answers. Until then, everyone stays healthy!

Microsoft had to reprogram the game for iOS and couldn't simply take over the PC or Xbox version. So I see no problem in paying for this additional work - especially since there's no other option anyway.
