> Mojang, even pre microsoft, has never provided any sort of modding support.

I believe Mojang now provides deobfuscation mappings[0] which makes life slightly easier for modders.

Whats the point of the obfuscation in the first place, if they offer mappings to deobfuscate it?

I suspect it's one of those "this has been in the build process for a decade and there ain't no way we're attempting to change it now" things.
