You can grow without being hostile and negative. Start your own studios, make innovative games, compete with quality not acquisitions.

Yes, but can you roll a platform of the distribution, breadth, depth and persistence over good and bad cycles of the scale of Xbox or PlayStation while being a private company? A few have tried.

No, but do you have to? You can still be a profitable company without aiming for world domination.

No, there are plenty of independent private game developers (Stardew Valley, Baldur's gate etc come to mind) I was just taking Phil Spencer's perspective, which I imagine is a platform level one.
