There are many regulations in place that have to do with privacy, terms of service etc. When you made a Mojang account you never agreed to Microsoft's terms of service. And I wouldn't be surprised if there were other issues as well related to just merging accounts from different companies, it's not that simple.

If I remember correctly I think Luke and Linus (from LTT) talked about how they had a lot of issues with migrating forum subscribers to Floatplane and how it wasn't really possible to do it without direct user consent or something. I don't really remember the details, it was many years ago.
