I totally agree! This is how Curse forge does it and the launcher itself allows people to choose account type they can play with (Mojang or microsoft) ! It would make it accessible for all!

Hello! I don't know if this will help but early I had submitted a ticket to see what the staff's standpoint was on the whole issue and to me it sounds like they aren't hostile towards the idea of third party launchers! So I'm getting the impression that there won't really be a legal issue, if that's any relief to you!! Thank you for working so hard on this, if there's anything I can do to help I would love to help.

Hello! Has there been any updates on this topic? I had the idea that maybe once everyone is required to assimilate to Microsoft accounts, perhaps the launcher could do usernames and passwords for the Minecraft account instead of email? I think that still resembles a Microsoft login which I understand is potentially illegal for you to do without permission, but maybe when the big change is finalized technic could post something where it requires everyone to do a security check? like you log in with your username and password, but to fully have access legally you have to validate your email that is attached to the username. Would that work as an efficient loophole or is it the same issue? because if not, most emails have phone numbers and backup emails attached to them. What you maybe could do is have the login attached to the secondary email or phone number. That way its still connected to the Microsoft account but instead through the phone number or secondary email so its not a direct usage. It is in a legal gray area I still think, but many sites and accounts already verify with phone numbers and verification codes instead of the actual password and username/email anyways. This is just a thought, I'm sorry that everyone is stressing you out with this, I know you're trying your best and that microsoft quite literally is pulling the rug from beneath you. Thank you for your hard work, if there's any way I can help I would love to assist. Though in the meantime, I know it is your brand products but it would be very kind of you to allow downloads of the approved modpacks, at least the official technic modpacks, for those who are already forced to migrate and have to install manually. That would be so appreciated, but I understand if you do not wish to, it is kind of charity.
