How do you know this for a fact? You're just guessing Activision is 100% in control, which isn't right at all. Sony definitely has a say in what they want their exclusive content to be. They could simply have a marketing deal, and I'm sure Activision would take it. MS took plenty of blame last generation when they did the timed map packs, and it was rightfully so. I feel like Sony said, "Fine you want crossplay? Cool, but we want something else in return since we aren't getting map packs early." Makes way more sense.
Phil Spencer has been vocal about not liking 3rd party games with exclusive content locked on a platform. I don't think MS actually would take the deal, especially with their heavy support for crossplay. Do you see Minecraft with exclusive content on Xbox? I don't think so.

Spencer only said that because MS wasn't ponying up the cash for big timed exclusive deals anymore. If the shoe was on the other foot, he'd be taking those deals left and right.

You can have your assumptions. All I can speak for is the evidence out there. MS has been marketing tons of 3rd party games this year and last. Since Spencer made the comment, I haven't see any deals including times exclusive content for same day release titles. If there has been, please point them out.
