This only really works if they start making games exclusive to gamespass

I don't think that necessarily has to be true.

Even so, MS is already dabbling with buying publishers and wielding them as a weapon through enforcing exclusivity. See buying Bethesda and destroying development of the PS5 port for Starfield. I think it's naive to think this will get better and not worse.
