Microsoft’s not really interested in exclusives. They want a large game catalog they control with access from any device via subscription. It expands their addressable market beyond consoles and makes the need for big dollar exclusives less impactful.
They absolutely are. They are pretending they aren't so they can lower expectations while they try to build up and offer it again. They're managing expectations so they don't look stupid but make no mistake.
They do get unlucky sometimes like it's hilarious to me that they got Quantum Break which ended up being essentially the tech demo for Control which wasn't exclusive and was way more popular.
