I understand why Microsoft and Epic don't like this policy. it certainly makes it much harder for them to compete with Steam. But, that's business. Microsoft and Epic have very deep pockets. They can throw money at the problem and overcome it, if it's that important to them. Microsoft could effectively buy the exclusive rights to every game in existence and force Valve out of the market in short order, if it was that important to them. The fact that they're not doing it shows you that it's really not that important.

I wouldn't think differently no matter who the complaints were. But, it is particularly ridiculous coming from Microsoft. They could just buy Valve if it's that important.
