Edit: ok, as long as the game is not owned by some evil company.
Changed my mind a bit. God damn Microsoft suck a shit company. Keep your money and pirate minecraft
Meh, I wouldn't really care now that Microsoft owns it
Good thing Microsoft bought it and not Google
I bought both minecraft version on PC, but I use TL launcher, I prefer it to the main one.
re-edit: just use Prism Launcher, that's where the polyMC's devs went to. old comment:
PolyMC has a toxic lead dev. Google it to learn more. PrismLauncher forked from it about a year ago taking nearly all the active devs, and it remains my favorite launcher of all those I've used.
Fuck PolyMC.
PolyMC is great, has easy access to Mods, Offline mode (No Account), and separates versions into separate .minecraft folders called instances, very useful if you want to load up and play older versions.
Only downside is some issues with Music Playing and World Icons not saving correctly.
I mean since it's Microsoft now it's not really a big deal, also after they introduced the chat reporting featu6 which was (and still is to an extent) easy to abuse by malicious actors.
I know that debates about chat reporting tend to get very ugly and hostile so I'll just link to videos explaining the problem, rather than dive into a heated debate (I won't debate with people, and I certainly won't respond to ad-hominems or baseless accusations).

(Not YewTube or piped links, sorry)
Though I will say running a cracked or Offline server is much harder and requires more effort and using an Alternate Service like ely.by to authenticate users means it's harder for people to join, so I know why most people aren't committed to doing it. It's either too much effort or way too limiting.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
