I thought you meant they send a code that never expires so you can recover your old account. What you are proposing is give everyone who didn't migrate a code to redeem Minecraft?

That is even less viable. That's basically giving everyone that didn't migrate a full refund (+ extra because now Minecraft is cheaper so you can sell it for more). Which would also lead to a potential customer lost because they bought the "second hand" key.

Why would Microsoft do that. They'd be better off just paypaling every non-migrated account 20€.
