Minecraft: Java Edition 1.19.1 Is Out
I think this also happened with No Telemetry.
-
I feel like im going to stop playing during 1.19
Assuming you play Java Edition, you don't have to update to 1.19. You can stay on an old version. And even if you play newer versions, you can ignore most of the new features and disable the anti-features (No Telemetry and No Chat Reports).

In-Game Chat Moderation and Reporting
Illegal? Mojang/Microsoft only receives chat messages when a report occurs. If no one makes a report, there's no chat monitoring (There's still other telemetry, see the No Telemetry mod.).

The Metaverse Is Already Here. It’s Minecraft
This freedom to use old versions sounds good. But of Minecraft's 100M+ users, what percentage know this? What percentage just automatically update to the newest version and don't explore the mod scene?
I just read that Mojang added no opt-out telemetry to version 21w38a.[1]
How many Minecrafters are savvy enough to understand that this happened, and the long-term implications?
I initially tried to follow guides and "mods" to disable Win 10 telemetry but eventually gave up because MS changes how telemetry is disabled with every single update.

In-Game Chat Moderation and Reporting
One thing that may be an option in the future is moving to MineClone, a free (as in freedom) clone of Minecraft. Unfortunately it's quite unfinished and there's not a good world converter for Minecraft 1.13+ yet, but if a world converter was made you could keep the things you made and yet move away from Minecraft (link to one of the existing converters). The users of Minecraft cannot control the direction of the game, since it is proprietary software, but since MineClone is free software, the users can control it if necessary. If you want to move to MineClone (or any other clone or re-implementation), my advice would be to stop updating your world until you do.

How can we stop Microsoft from harvesting phone numbers for each account?
It might be possible to convert a Minecraft world to a MineClone world using this fork of mcimport (only up to 1.12) or mc2mt (which I haven't tested, but I think works up to at least 1.15). If you're on a version too new or to obscure (e.g. modded) to do a conversion, then I guess the best you can do is try to avoid letting your launcher know you've not migrated, by staying offline, perhaps using firejail --net=none --noprofile if you're on a Debian-based operating system (or possibly other operating systems). In any case, I would recommend backing up all of your Minecraft data.
-
Why does anyone think this mandatory account migration is okay?
There's a game very similar to Minecraft that you might be interested in, called MineClone. It's really free as opposed to Minecraft which is proprietary, so I don't think MineClone users could ever be locked out of the game. It might be possible to convert your world with this tool, although I haven't tested this myself, so make backups!

Migration problems
It might be possible to convert your world using this tool (haven't tested it myself, so make backups!).
What are some alternatives?
No-Chat-Reports - Disable Player Chat Reporting and make user messages untrackable.
PolyMC - A custom launcher for Minecraft that allows you to easily manage multiple installations of Minecraft at once (Fork of MultiMC)
antimsban - Fabric mod to (maybe) ignore global bans while still using the auth server
TrueCraft - Minecraft for hipsters
mc2mt - Convert maps from Minecraft to Minetest
Minetest - Minetest is an open source voxel game-creation platform with easy modding and game creation
