It should be no surprise. Xbox, and Microsoft as a whole, are businesses whose only goal is profit at any cost. It’s capitalism at any stage. And as long as there are people willing to spend money on their services (myself included), they will continue doing what they do.
Still, it bears reiterating lest some start believing in the marketing they spin. No company or division of a company can be a friend to anyone. Even PC darling Valve isn't ! (and I say that having spent thousands of euros on Valve's products and services)
And even bearing that in mind, Microsoft has time and again openly shown anti consumer behavior, so they shouldn't be awarded even the slightest amount of trust. Allowing them to continue existing in their current form is already too much.
