OS and eco system can be the same or overlap or one part includes the other.

I wanted to keep it simple for you, but here we go:

• eco systems can contain other eco systems (f. e. Europe, Western Europe, Germany, France, Bavaria, United Kingdoms, England, Scotland...)
• eco systems can overlap

For video games there are a lot of eco systems, some of them overlapping:

You seem to always google for quotes and keywords, but ignore the context of each quote.

I see you have made a circle labeled "Windows Ecosystem". Thankyou for admitting that the Windows OS is an ecosystem.

You are welcome. Have you also seen that "Microsoft's eco system" and "Windows eco system" are only overlapping each other?

The intersection is the Windows store. "Microsoft's eco system" only includes a part of the "Windows eco system". "Windows eco system" only includes a part of "Microsoft's eco system".

1. Microsoft owns the Windows OS, therefore they own the ecosystem.

2. If MS owns the Windows ecosystem then it is a part of their ecosystem. 

3. Therefore assuming that a Microsoft Exec is talking about only their own ecosystem assumes that they are talking about the Windows ecosystem + Xbox. 

4. If we assume that they are talking about the Windows ecosystem then we assume they are talking about Steam, GoG, Uplay, etc, which is enveloped in the Windows OS ecosystem (as per your Venn diagram).

5. Microsoft was no way of tracking spending on Steam, GoG, Uplay, etc. (Outside of their own games that are available for purchase on those stores of course.)

So again, even if we make this incorrect assumption that Bond was only talking about MS' own ecosystem, their claim to know that Gamepass users spend more overall, (within their own ecosystem) is not supported by their deeply flawed dataset. 

No, of course you only saw what you wanted to see and ignored all the rest.
