Didn't it get ported after MS bought it?

It got ported for Consoles/Mobile. Porting the PC version would cause every existing mod to stop working, which would be huge, I can't think of a single person I know who plays stock Minecraft.

It also got ported for Windows, that's why it is in "beta" for now at Windows Store. It's being rewritten in C++.
