Because not everyone with a Mojang account can migrate to a Microsoft account. They require you to reverify your email address that you originally used maybe 10 years ago, which Mojang never required for login. A lot of longtime players perma lost their accounts when they forced this transition.
Also, even if it works, the migration is a major pain that nobody asked for. First migration was Minecraft.net onto Mojang, and that was a lot more ok.
