Now what about Minecraft and having to get an Xbox account.

People didn't care as much for some reason. They got a free cape and most were happy with that. You also weren't going to lose your Minecraft account for living in the wrong country ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Plus it let you play cross platform with everyone (not on java)

True, I guess there was more of an incentive to Microsoft accounts than just capes

That's not the first time an account migration has happened with Minecraft btw.

My only complaint is that there was a cutoff date for migration. Even if the migration phase was 2 years long.

Also to keep in mind: both migrations were from one account to another, you keep one account regardless. In the Helldivers case it was going to be 1 accounts to 2 accounts, with 2 distinct entities controlling how you can play (Steam and Sony-Playstation).
