I consider Bedrock as the Microsoftified edition of Minecraft. Microtransactions everywhere, halting modding whenever possible, support on all platforms except Linux, no access to previous versions.
In some cases, it's easier to eat up the cost instead of dealing with one problematic order and having a potential future customer switch to a different site permanently. You can be sure that they won't ask if they said they can't charge you.
The problem is, this never needed to grow to the point where some people call it that. Some people not wanting to buy games a group of people worked on doesn't make it a hate campaign; but calling them out in an attempt to shut them down eventually did turn it into one, a one with way more people's support at that.
Their Steam curator page used to have around 2000 followers until all those articles calling them out were published, and literally no one gives shits about curators in the first place. Now? They have 250k, and some people started giving shit about it.
Let's move it a bit further and introduce tags as detailed as vndb.
Consider how many devices will use it at the same time.
Only you? A pi is fine.
A few friends too? An old computer with a rough equivilent of i5-2300 with integrated graphics should do the trick. 4GB Ram will do fine.
A small group that'll use it constantly? Plug in a GPU that supports hardware encoding, (Some low-end cards like GT 1030 doesnt support this feature, check this properly.) , upgrade RAM a notch more, like 8GB.
You can scale it higher for more people via logic; you'll also know how much storage you'll need; but it'll be a lot if you want to satisfy a huge group of people.

As much as I dislike Epic Games, that's the biggest heck no for me.

I can write an API like this in like 2 hours, this is really not complicated.
