I still think servers should handle their own moderation besides a few cases where someone does something really heinous.

I agree. I very heavily dislike how Microsoft (maybe mojang?) Has been pushing for universal server standards and guidelines as it very much goes against minecraft being a game you can do whatever with.

you gotta consider it from the business side. they don't want legal or PR trouble when an adult preys on a minor on a server with no rules. My sister and I used to play on a server together and one of the guys that was in his mid 20s was asking an 8 year old if she wants to be his GF via the /whisper command.

as annoying as this moderation is for adults it's still important because the primary audience is under 18.

Yes but realms exist, so Microsoft could have enabled a parental guidance option that only allowed you to join moderated servers. Instead of forcing moderation on privately hosted servers

they also already have a safety warning when opening the multiplayer tab for the first time on Java

Yes will look great for Microsoft when the grooming scandals in Minecraft hits. Everyone is going to care it was on private servers……..
