The talents of the modding community run laps around the core game devs. Unironically the best thing that could happen for Minecraft is if everyone moved to something like minetest and started making mods for it instead.
Tbh I'd prefer if the core game just stopped updating so that mods can all keep to one version of the game.
But minetest already has feature parity with Minecraft, runs significantly faster, and is free and libre (which makes it significantly easier to write mods for). If you want to log into a server running a set of mods you just put the URL in and minetest fetches and installs the mods for you automatically. Instead of fighting the core devs, the mod devs could work with them.

yes, really. the amount of issues with the base game that get easily solved by modders is astounding. putting iris + lithium + indium + entityculling immediately makes the game run like butter on 99% of hardware. and that's just performance. easymagic and easyanvils fix the enchanting and anvil systems respectively, tetra fixes tool progression almost completely, modders added in all three mobs from the mob vote like a day after release. I could go on.
I like that modders have had to start establishing safe harbor with disclaimers to not use their work to slander & how much they respect the official version of the game™️. Very cool.
