I must say that I think making Titanfall an Xbox One exclusive didn't do much good. It didn't boost the XOne sales that much and this should've had the freedom to be on PS4 as well. Microsoft probably had to pay a lot to keep it exclusive but in the end it proved to be not worth the effort. I personally also hate the way Microsoft seems to think that by just making something exclusive everyone will buy an XOne (that's at least what I seem to get out of their behaviour towards Titanfall), but that's a different discussion.

Well....exclusives tend to distinguish one console from another. So unless you want all consoles to have all the same games (or simply, have 1 console on the market, period), then you need to recognize that exclusives are needed in order to make one console look more appealing than another to consumers.

The purpose of exclusivity is to get people to buy in, because you can't get that product anywhere else. iPhones were initially exclusive to AT&T. So people got AT&T plans. Did you hate them at the time for that deal?
