You're downplaying the power of exclusives. As a PC owner, PS4 has more that "some" strong exclusives. It's argueably the best second gaming platform for PC owners.
I wouldn't say MS won't ever stop releasing their games for UWP. Low sales and not being able to compete with Steam, might bring them back to thinking Xbox only is more profitable.
I understand how important an exclusivity is, and I'm 100% sure the Playstation brand is that strong today, mainly cause of it. What I mean is that each company has it's own way to deal with their market share, and we have to adapt to this reality.
If someone has a strong PC and doesn't care for consoles (except for exclusives), today, in fact, I think it's hard to get interested on Xbox. But that doesn't change the fact that there are many players that prefer consoles over PC, and that's why apparently Xbox One S did sold well enough in this same reality.
Exclusives are important. But for MS it seems their approach is about "console exclusivity" now. If you like consoles, XBox is good cause they have their titles that won't be released on Sony or Playstation consoles. If you like PC... just choose whatever fits you better. I'm okay with it.
But maybe you're right and they step back about this stuff. But maybe that's working for them somehow (or maybe not...).
