Oh no, this is for the Java PC version, hence the "WTF?" at the option being buried in XBox settings (in the MS account management settings screens in a web browser, not while trying to do this on an XBox, which device we don't even own, all this was taking place on desktop and laptop computers)

Can’t say we had that problem but maybe GDLauncher is taking care of it

I believe it only happens when the age on an account is under 18. Also requires a Microsoft family account with parental controls to enable chat for <13. Some restrictions of this type can be modded out of the game, though IIRC the restriction on multiplayer is not possible to bypass due to servers checking each login with Mojang servers.
