Multiple Minecraft accounts per Microsoft account

The upcoming Minecraft to Microsoft account migration thing has me concerned. I have a few Java Edition accounts, and don't want to have to make several Microsoft accounts just to keep all of them, so I'm suggesting that you make it so you can have multiple accounts for Minecraft Java Edition under a single Microsoft account, possibly separated by UUID and username. While I'm not sure that this is a perfect fit for this category, this looked like the best place to ask for this, and this is a somewhat major concern for at least a few people.

  I'd argue they should add a feature that makes it to where you do not need an alternate account. Many only use it for cinimatic purposes or spying / trolling. In addition to this, this only confuses and complicates the current system we are used to, how would 2FA work here with emails, which email is the master one, Parent to child accounts? This also raises concerns with security due to which email gets priority and the child potentially having too many accounts or attaching too many.

  Another problem is they specifically said in the FAQ that you are allowed 1 Java account per MSA (Microsoft account). You cannot add more and it is permanent and cannot be undone / removed from the account without refunding and destroying the old account on Java permanently. This only makes it more confusing and would lead to multiple account deletions in the event of your email or MSA getting leaked / hacked and them requesting a refund out of spite. Hacking has been a huge problem on Java both out of and In-game and this would only further increase the potential points of entry and places to get breached.
