They weren't releasing in other places. When they started caring about PC again they were Windows Store exclusive for awhile. If long term they wanted everything to be on their own store/launcher then they would have stuck to that. They didn't however, they gave in and started releasing on Steam too. I don't see why they would have done that if it wasn't part of a permanent shift in their strategy.

Means nothing.  You can't count on anything being permanent with Microsoft.  Microsoft does whatever they want when their agenda changes, which is kind of often.  I remember when they were telling everyone that they were committed to Games for Windows Live.  Microsoft is aggressive and ambitious.  They're also big enough that they don't really worry about people being upset with them because they have enough money to force through unpopular decisions.  Wouldn't surprise me if they thought they were big enough with the next Elder Scrolls release to fight against Steam again.
