There is also a real reason for it not to be done with NFTs: it would take about thirty seconds for someone to be scammed and open a support ticket with [whoever - it won't be the right person, but I guarantee someone is getting a support ticket] and they obviously won't be able to reverse the transaction, and also unclear if they could even ban the scammer (right now, bans are per-server, unless server owners have coordinated otherwise, which they generally don't). Regardless, the user is going to have a bad time, versus a system using a mutable system, where a human could investigate and reverse the issue.

Obviously support agents make mistakes sometimes too, but that's a heck of a lot rarer than scams in MMOs.

This exact point has been my hesitation with NFTs in general. I think the immutable nature of NFTs is actually very incompatible with human nature; we make mistakes and a completely unforgiving system is only going to make life harder.

That's like the main point...

Well my point is that Minecraft does actually feature some decentralization vs the vast majority of online games.

Sure. But to give a more extreme example, Dungeons and Dragons is entirely decentralized with individual DMs hosting games however they choose without even the knowledge or consent or transaction with Wizards of the Coast. Now imagine a player demanding the right to access content from another campaign with another DM. Or even more laughably, that they "bought" with USD from someone who played a DnD game at some point.
