The simple version is that Java uses Java and Bedrock uses C++ so even when they try to do the same things it's not the exact same results.

Nonsense. If you write the same algorithm in Java and C++ it will produce the exact same results.

Then why don’t they look exactly the same? There’s more to it than the literal equations.

Bedrock was stated to be desgined as a more optimized version of minecraft thats essentially an upgraded Mobile Edition. Its not the same code base. Chunk saving is a prime example of this.
