If MS decide to do this, they would own the gaming industry. PS4 and Switch owners subscribing to Xbox Live will greatly boost memberships and income to the Xbox division. As a business decision its a very smart move. Hardware doesn't make money like software does.
However Sony and possibly others wont allow Live as a service on there platforms which will mean no Xbox Games.

No they won't.  What sells consoles are games, and that's the primary reason why both the Switch and PS4 are doing so well over the Xbox One.  The Xbox One is lacking when compared to the competition.  That's not to say that no Switch and PS4 owners will buy formerly 1st party Microsoft titles ported to the Switch and PS4.  But not to the degree that Microsoft "would own the gaming industry" given the fact that their own titles haven't done much to stop the Switch and PS4 onslaught.  Microsoft would arguably "own the gaming industry" if their software offerings were greater than Nintendo and Sony's combined which in turn would make the Xbox One the best selling console of this console genration.  But the reality here is that's not the case.
