Well I was talking about GFWL retail games.

Who buys something from their online store anyway ?

Apparently, not enough people to fuss Microsoft much anymore.

But I still disagree: Microsoft would not have bothered to make GFWL if it didn't get something out of it, even for retail releases.  My guess is that they charge the publisher for the services it provides: I believe Steam does something similar.  I have not heard any authority to the contrary, although if anyone can produce such I'll cheerfully admit that I'm wrong.
