Also from the Xbox perspective this is mostly Asus taking the risk hardware wise. Microsoft are just adding some bigger grips on the side.
I would have thought Xbox/M$ would be subsidising the hardware cost somewhat.
They are desperately trying to be the Netflix of games. That is why they keep buying IP, studios and publishers. They are buying content for that service.
Boutique hardware doesn't help that. You need that service on every and anything.
Gamepass being operating system agnostic would be great. My Australian internet is too shit for cloud streaming though.
