It's been ten years. This is not at all unreasonable.
It's been 10 years since what? Since Microsoft bought Mojang? So you're saying you're okay if in 10 years Microsoft takes away your copy of Skyrim or Call of Duty unless you give them your phone number?
No one is taking anything away. Just update your credentials.
Why? I didn’t pay to have a Microsoft account. I can’t make just a Minecraft account, they require my full name and date of birth to make a microsoft account. That’s an entirely different dynamic than the Mojang account that requires literally no personal information. I didn’t agree to give Microsoft my information when I bought the game, and I have no obligation to do so. They, however, have an obligation to allow me to access the game that I’ve paid for in perpetuity.
