Any reason why it consumes so much CPU power, beyond poor optimization?

Lots of draw calls I think.
The 100~ player count might have something to do with it as the net code needs to constantly keep track of everyone.
But it's really no excuse considering how much better Fortnight runs. It's really just poor optimization in the end.

For reference, I've never played PUBG, but from the brief pieces of trailer footage, it honestly visually looks no better than some mid tier assets flips that you see around. Completely lacks any kind of artistic direction and looks drap and dull. Add to that that they are apparently only now adding a second arena, while intending to launch the game properly next week. So it seems like it is devastatingly lacking in content as well. I just don't get it's popularity, I guess?

Visually the game looks like a dogs breakfast even on Ultra at 1440P with 16x AF.
It's not just dull... The assets in general are low quality, I swear Crysis from 10 years ago has some better textures than some of the low quality rock textures I have seen in this game.
The irony is, Microsoft threw technology and resources from Rare and The Coalition (Who are pretty much experts in Unreal Engine) and thus it should be in a far better state than it is, not just in regards to performance but visuals too.
The matches themselves also don't really go for very long... And if you parachute towards the edge of the map, you pretty much spend the majority of the round running towards the center as the game shrinks the playable area... Hopefully you don't get taken out from outside your vision during that process.
Honestly, I think the game would have benefited from a smaller island and abolished that mechanic entirely.
In the end though... This is a $30 game, so expectations and all that.

I saw the video yesterday on base X1, that looks ugly. People were saying PS360 level of IQ, but to me it looks worse than a PS2 game. If I were going by memory this is level of Medal of Honor on PS1.

When you first land on the ground though, with lots of shrubbery, crepuscular rays coming through the trees, it doesn't look too bad... But then at other times it looks like an Unreal Engine 3 game in terms of fidelity.
My PC on Ultra the game isn't anything to write home about, I could only imagine how terrible it would look on my Xbox One X which is a big step down from that, let alone the base Xbox One.
This isn't the game that will showcase the Xbox One X's capabilities... And honestly, I would suggest all gamers to give this game a pass and throw your support behind the vastly superior and free Fortnite instead.
