Thoughts on deleting my Microsoft account, including my Minecraft license?

I haven't played Minecraft since 2015, but I get the feeling I might again in the new few years as I wanna find new hobbies. I know that game has changed a whole lot but I don't have any official online data on it.

I've had this Microsoft account for over a decade and its probably full of personal information that I wanna let go of, I've already exported all my data. I would need to pay $30 for another copy of Minecraft, same price I paid in 2013. I just did a bunch of searching and its not possible to transfer my Minecraft license to another account.

I feel like buying another minecraft account is still giving Microsoft your data, so I am unsure there is purpose to deleting the current account if it’s what you’re worried about?
Unless you’re actively engaging in public minecraft servers and you don’t want people to know it’s you, I don’t see the point of buying another account.
If you’re just playing singleplayer all the time then there are ways to play minecraft without having an official account.
