I have to ask do you have the same problems with Apple, Google, Amazon, and Steam?

with apple i have the same problem but hey, you can jailbreak your phone. with google, amazing and steam you have other choices to choice from, if you are a PC gamer you can not JUST use steam, there are a billion other ways to get your games. on xbox you cant. same with amazon, there are millions of other places to buy stuff from. you can install apps from other than the app store on your andriod. 

 Itunes doesn't let you buy from other stores on its devices. Who is to say the xbox one would not have been jail broken? What MS was doing was in direct response to consumers mass acception of these policies already from major companies, such as apple, google, and steam. With MS you would have been able to buy your games from a retail store also, not just through the online store, so there were still options. Honestly for what MS was trying to do they covered alot of bases, they still had discs for those who wanted to avoid downloads or not buy direct from ms. they kept the check in file small, and allowed for it to be done on cell phone hot spots. I think had they better communicated what they were doing it wouldn't have had the backlash it did.
