Hopefully Microsoft addresses the Windows 10 and Xbox Live Gold concerns. The offerings on both platforms should not be equal given that console gamers pay.

The offerings aren't equal. You get free games for Xbox consoles each month but no free PC games. Every Xbox game with multiplayer mode uses the XBL-service, only a fraction of Windows games will use the XBL-service.

Sony's situation is similar... there are only a few multiplayer games for the Vita (most handheld games are single player experiences), so they don't put the multiplayer access on Vita behind a paywall.
