It seems weird for a platform holder to do this.

They also now own all of the IP those studios created.

Sure, but what good is an IP if you can’t generate new products to attract and keep users?

What really gets me, and this touches on your comment, is that the execs said that they need to have the teams make what they specialize in. And then they turn around and force all the studios to make games that not at all anything they've ever made before.

They don't care about being a platform holder

I guess you can do that when you own Windows.
