Let Microsoft account users use the friend system without buying the game

I have a Microsoft account and can log into Minecraft Java snapshots via third-party launchers. The new friend system is locked unless I buy the game, even though I only want to use it to play LAN worlds with friends. I suggest unlocking the friend list and P2P invites for all Microsoft account users, regardless of purchase status. This would help players connect with friends more easily before they decide to buy the full game.
