Question is in the OP.

I was just thinking about the backlash Sony has been getting about Cross platform play. And it made me think how its even more silly that MS doesn't allow cross platform play against steam players.

For instance i own Ark on Steam, but i cant play against Xbox owners unless i re buy the windows store version.

PC has the advantage of Keyboard +Mouse control scheme, which is vastly faster and more precise than anything possible with a controller, especially in strategy games and shooters. Hence why these kinds of games don't allow crossplay with PC, because console owners would get pwned from here to yesteryear and back against PC gamers. The 2008 Shadowrun First person shooter tried it for instance, but even the best console gamers were no match to for even PC gaming  shooter noobs due to the much better controls of the latter.

In any other type of games, crossplay with PC is possible, just check Rocket League for instance
