BEDROCK OR JAVA ?

I can only play on Bedrock, although I know i'd enjoy Java simply because, well, it's java. Yes, I do play on bedrock, and we have our own character customization and a list of a few servers, but other than that we don't have much choice for mods and extra community content; the closest we can get is joining a modded java realm. Even then, Java and Bedrock cross realms don't work well for Bedrock.
However, I do know some features on Bedrock (Moving entities; tridents are far more common) are NOT on Java, and I question why this is.
