Traditional PC market has been stagnating. Steam grew, as digital distribution. And yes, Blizzard is big in PC gaming.
And that is what MS definitely missed in the PC market.
Now they do have the possibility to offer connections between different ecosystems, from crossbuy to streaming, which is actually an interesting move. It even gets more interesting when you think about Xbox 360 emulation on PC, on the next Xbox, an x86 neXtbox that's backwards compatible at default and buying one game for all devices.
Thing is, it actually doesn't hurt me. Right now i might play Quantum Break for Xbox One cause my Notebooks GPU is to weak. But i'm getting a PC version as well, so i might play that if i'm getting a gaming rig again.
And if MS is really smart, they have Cloud save features from the start. So i can play QB on PC in the living room and then head over to playing it on that Xbox in the bedroom or something like that.
The only thing that hurts gamers is games not coming to their platform of choice!
