If it wasn't for that "bull$hit exclusive contract", Bayonetta would never had gotten a sequel much less a trilogy. Fact of the matter is the series still exists because Nintendo took a chance and got SEGA to "lease" or whatever the rights to continue the franchise and funded it themselves at that.

That is not true at all. There was always a possibility for Bayonetta. If not Nintendo, there could've been an opportunity later down the line that would've benefited more people. If I have to choose between exclusive bullshit now or multiplatform game later, of course I would choose later. It's not like there is a shortage of games and we desperately needed Bayonetta right now.

"If this guy hadn't done that" is generally a stupid rhetoric, since there is always someone else who could've done the same and probably even better.

Bayonetta 2 started off as a 360/PS3 game. Sega cancelled it. If Nintendo didn't pick it up, it wouldn't have been released. It was dead IP. This isn't the case  of hardware maker taking a hugely popular game franchise and locking it behind exclusivity. The revived a cancelled game. If Sega thought Bayonetta 3 would be a big seller. They wouldn't have made an agreement for the third game. As much as enjoy Bayonetta it's a niche franchise. If you're a fan of the series, you should be happy to have option to continue playing it.
