It could still be a closed platform, they would just be off-loading the responsibility of creating multiple configurations. If you want a more-open console that can have multiple hardware configurations, what exactly is the downside to allowing third parties to create their own versions, especially when you're advertising that the operating system of the Xbox is Windows 10, especially if you want to hammer home the concept that this is a "more open xbox"?

You clearly don't know what a closed platform is. A closed platform means that Microsoft is the only contributing factor to their hardware and firmware. They don't want to hammer home that its a more open Xbox. It's not.
