You are really making a mountain of a mole hill, to get my save from Outer Worlds gamepass to use on steam's version was as easy as just copy pasting the files in another folder
They absolutely are not and you are lucky you were able to get your save game out. The majority of games have their config and save files encrypted and are completely unusable as far as any other platform goes.
There are some exceptions, mainly games that have official mod support tend to have areas you can access but the majority of others won't.
I really don't know what to say, I did this both with Outer Worlds and Code Vein. Just went to PCgamingwiki's entries of the 2 games, saw where the save folders are, and dropped each from the microsoft one to the steam one.
Ah, PC Gaming Wiki, what a fantastic resource. Made realize how many games in my libraries are actually DRM-free
