Parity between new version numbering for Java and Bedrock

If we are to keep this new version numbering system which i personally agree with, then please, can we have parity with bedrock and java at least on this? I mean, half of the point of making a new version numbering system was to have parity with bedrock, i don't really know how Bedrock updates work since i am a Java player first, so if there are differences between those two please inform me of such, but if they are minor things then why not just keep them in the #.#.minor part of the update?
Giving an example with the 2025 releases, here's what Bedrock version numbering should look like:

25.1 - Spring to Life
25.1.1 - 25.1.3 - Hotfixes
25.1.4 - Bedrock Release
25.1.5 - 25.1.7 - Hotfixes
25.2 - Chase the Skies
25.2.1 - 25.2.4 - Hotfixes
25.2.5 - Bedrock Release
25.2.6 - Hotfixes
25.3 - The Copper Age
25.3.1 - 25.3.3 - Hotfixes
25.3.4 - Bedrock Releases
25.3.5 - 25.3.7 - Hotfixes
25.4 - Mounts of Mayhem

I really don't understand why this is a problem in the first place.

The issue with your idea is that bedrock minor updates are not the same as the hotfixes. I created a numbering system to fix that:

This keeps the drop number, minor update number and hotfix number separate while keeping it the same with javas number system

Oh i didn't actually know that, i don't play bedrock so it's update cycle is kinda foreign to me, your numbering system works as a great alternative to the current one!
