I completely agree. Mojang is now owned by one of the biggest (if not the biggest) software developers/producers on the planet, and it hasn't done anything to improve the development of the game compared to when Notch was in charge aside from (perhaps) improving code quality. Major releases are now (mostly) annual as opposed to "when the feature(s) is/are ready" (which was often more frequent than annual before, as I recall), and it seems like only about every other major version releases anything that's really worth it. I feel like there's a decent niche market for someone that wants to clone the game on a more stable and performant codebase and add some features that Mojang/Microsoft aren't interested in (and I'm sure it's been tried, along with the variety of similar games that have been released.)
