Is MS going about acquiring games the wrong way?

Yeah, they're gambling. But...

...do you realize that there isn't a proper Minecraft for Modern Windows/Windows Phone?

(EDIT: And, yes, I think they're doing it wrong. For the record, what I think they should do is to push XBL on Windows/Windows Phone hard and make it easier for devs to port those games to the XBOne, since they pretty much share the OS. That should solve game problems on the Windows side, and make it easier to acquire games for the XBOX side.)

What does Modern Windows mean cause Minecraft works on Windows 8/8.1...

As for WP... Well... Firstly, I doubt Minecraft sells phones and secondly, if they really wanted it that badly, they could have just paid them like 1 million to port it instead of paying them 2 billion to buy the company
