Because it could be built up. What was the first thing that happened when Rise was announced as exclusive? People demanded it be on Sony then said they wouldn't buy it anyway because its a betrayal against Sony fans who bought on ps1 20 years ago. But lets say that the next 2 TR games were MS exclusive too. Eventually it would have been seen as a MS franchise. Kinda like how Sony fans see FF as a Sony franchise even though there are a half dozen games on Nintendo systems. We might get to see this happen now because of the poor sales on PS4. Kinda like how Titanfall 2 ended up on PS4 and it suffered bad sales. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back to MS exclusivity, assuming it survives.

Not one thing you just wrote explains why you think Rise of the Tomb Raider would've had overall better sales if it had stayed exclusive to Xbox.

I did. All subquent sequels would sell better once it was understood that it wasn't going to end up on other consoles. Its already become apparent that the ones who claim they would wait for a PS4 version are not buying it now.
