Recently, there have been promotions with Twitch and an upcoming promotion with TikTok on the 18th to celebrate 15 years of Minecraft. These include giving away prizes such as Bedrock Character Creator cosmetics and capes. I received my Twitch cape today, but I was only able to equip it on my Nintendo Switch with Bedrock Edition, but not on my PC with Java Edition or on my Phone with Bedrock Edition. I searched for more information regarding the Twitch cape on Java, and it turns out that Java players will have these capes by July 8th, 2024. I do not remember any other cross-platform cape such as Vanilla or Cherry Blossom being delayed for one platform.

Given java & BR are two different games [at least as far as the programming goes] it seems likely that there were parallel teams working to get the 15th anno promotional material ready and the java side of teh house was not considered a priority…
There are now reports of the Twitch Cape being in a Java player's inventory. Still, I have no idea why they gave Bedrock players early access to such coveted items.
