Would be nice to get Minecraft in Steam too
Edit: just came on to find all these replies. What I mean is that I abandoned Windows and only use macOS and Linux now. I prefer Bedrock over Java and there is no way I am aware of to play Bedrock except using something like the Android version which isn’t the same.
I just wish we could get a release on Steam in addition to the launcher and other ways we currently have. If nothing else than putting the launcher in Steam and a way to somehow use Proton to play it in Linux, at the very least.
Microsoft doesn’t want that to happen for obvious reasons, so this won’t ever happen.

Games not on Valve's platform and are hosted elsewhere is a good thing! So that way if Steam even collapses for whatever reason...Not all games are lost! Not every game needs to be on Steam.

Microsoft account DRM isn’t enough for you?

The unofficial Minecraft Pocket Edition Launcher you seem to have alluded to in your edit is pretty nice, and feels almost as if it’s a native port of Bedrock to Linux. All the Google and Android stuff is abstracted away. Minecraft already has too much big tech influence on it with Microsoft, let’s not add Valve’s grubby fingers into the pie now, shall we?
