then why are there different download options for the game?

There are better versions for different systems? Some people are dumb? No clue.
All I care about is the fact that you can run the jar on linux, mac AND windows. (I happen to have done it myself)

Windows version allows for a .exe that you can customize to make it look cool ( instead of the pesky .jar icon). Mac versjon might have the same reason. Others because idk if Linux has the same thing windows has with the.exe.

They're effectively useless as applying launch arguments to any of those wouldn't modify the state of Minecraft (those launch arguments are handled seperately).

The reason is because java is only cross-platform on Tuesdays when the sun, the moon, and the stars align and God looks down and smiles upon ye, and the computer gnomes decide to stop trolling you, and Jesus himself comes into your house to launch the application. Otherwise, you're going to need to specialize it to the system because java will just end up drooling all over itself and your computer.

Java always drools on itself, including Tuesdays. It's Java.

But when all those things line up, it doesn't drool on your computer...

Then it just starts drooling you

The reason for different versions for OS' is natives (which to my knowledge are syscalls / libraries for C and such languages). At least, I think
