This is W.I.P I will be making a PR for this and the bot soon. Credits to Aqua:

Launchers or clients that claim to allow you to play Minecraft without an account (sometimes called "cracked") are very risky to you and your computer. Many of them contain "malware", software that can infect your computer and cause it behave incorrectly, or even steal sensitive data from you or your family members.
Prism Launcher always advises you to use a legitimate account to play Minecraft. You can buy one at https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-bedrock-edition-pc, or try the free trial at https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/free-trial. You should only buy Minecraft either directly from Microsoft, or from a known store you trust.
If you have installed one of these "cracked" launchers or clients, we suggest you remove it, and take steps to scan your computer for malware. In the meantime, you should avoid doing anything sensitive on that computer such as internet banking or using social media. While we can offer generic advice, our community isn't equipped to act as technical support — so we can only suggest you see an IT professional if you need further help or have specific concerns.
Minecraft is a fantastic community, and we hope we can welcome you with a legitimate account!

Fearmongering. There is no "malware" in the simple fact of a laucher letting you create offline accounts. For the people who do have to use those launchers, it's not as simple as "just buy the game" - if one pirates a game, it's likely that they can't buy it for a reason.
