No way to turn off home menu in launcher.

There is no way to hide the home menu in the launcher. While the home menu was in development, there was a way to turn it on and off (which is a good thing if you don't care about bedrock events and things), but now it is gone. The only reason I can think that Microsoft/Mojang would remove the option is that it is a poor attempt to convince Java players to spend money on the bedrock marketplace(which is a whole other can of worms.
The option wouldn't be too hard to add considering it was already there for a while, and it would save a little bit of time for everyone else.
