Minecraft opening issues.

Here's an old question from 2019:

"I can't open Minecraft, as when I try to, the Minecraft launcher comes up with the notice "Unable to start Minecraft, if you are running from a dmg, please drag to Applications and try again". Using advice from another place, I opened the folders in Minecraft by pressing command, then shift, then G, and then typing in ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft which worked. It then advised me to "find launcher.jar, and open it." However, I cannot find the file launcher.jar and I think it may be missing. Please help me use Minecraft! "

And, you know what the replies are? Pretty consistently, drag Minecraft to Applications. Well, if it's already in Applications, like it is for me, what do I do?
