While I see some of the points you make, I also see the motivation behind creating exclusive content from a platform owner's perspective, because let's be honest here nobody would buy a switch if it wasn't for the exclusive content.I don’t like exclusives and long for a world where I can just buy one system, but you have to fight the battle you’re engaged in sadly. I have all systems, but this is amusing because of the Sony fanboys who have made everything about exclusives and ‘wins’. It’s always nice to see a bully get punched in the mouth.
I do feel a little bad for nice people with PlayStations who just like to play games... But they’ll probably just buy an Xbox to play them and not treat it like some kind of holy war.
So my impression is that games that are exclusive would not get made, at least not in the same manner if it wasn't for the platform holders doing their best to differentiate their hardware (look at what EA, Activision and Ubisoft to see the difference in the approach compared to Sony and Nintendo). I'm pretty sure that uncharted and the last of us would not exist if Sony had not been put in a corner with the mess the PS3 was.
Sony built their studios back in the 90s to boost their platforms, MS bought them for the same reason.
We can always run emulators to bypass some of these limitations!
