This.

It's more than reasonable for Microsoft to ask for this parity if they are giving the dev kit away for free. That's why I'm not understanding the backlash on this. And Sony is showing some arrogance with this tweet. Why do companies do this whenever they become the top dog?

If they're accepted into ID@Xbox, yeah. Sony seems pretty free with handing out kits if they're keen on your game, though, so it's more or less the same thing: free dev kits at the platform holder's discretion.
