You need an Xbox Live account for the Bedrock version of Minecraft (and unfortunately soon for Java too). Question: What for? Why can't you get a Microsoft account right away, and why Xbox Live? I'm sure some people think you have to buy an Xbox to do it, which they don't.
Then why Xbox? What does the Xbox have to do with it? Can anyone explain to me?
Because Microsoft wants control over all of their products. They want you to have the same username there as with all other MS. You also want more control over the server!
Then what does this have to do with Xbox Live? Then why not a normal Microsoft account?
Because you use this XBox account for all MS games!
So is "Xbox Live" synonymous with "Microsoft Gaming"?
It has become. On the XBox you need xbox live to play online

The Xbox Live account is also the Microsoft account.
Xbox Live Account = Microsoft Account.
If you do it right, you are using a single email address and both accounts are virtually linked. Xbox Live and the Microsoft service are only kept separate, because Xbox Live is responsible for gaming and the Microsoft accounts are responsible for products such as Microsoft 365.

Xbox Live is the gaming service from Windows or Microsoft.
I didn't say anything about "This is bad…" so on the one hand I support it on the other hand I think it is well.
In principle, nothing changes.
The name is only corrected.
