It's called money. No one is buying an Xbox One because of Cuphead or Ori. So if they're not selling hardware what's the point in keeping them exclusive when you can make money from them elsewhere?

Well, No one is buying a Switch because of Mario Galaxy or Zelda WindWaker. So if they're not selling hardware what's the point in keeping them exclusive when you can make money from them elsewhere?

Mario & Zelda are very valuable IP's and their are reasons to keep those IP's as intrinsically linked with your company and hardware as possible, though even so Mario is on mobile, with galaxy on nvidia shield in china. Cuphead and Ori are not valuable IP.
