Makes sense for them to do it. Definetly a preventitive move. I just doubt Sony would be buying some of the studios they have bought had Microsoft not gone on a spending spree. Some of them they would have bought either way, I suspect, but others were dependent on this climate we find ourselves in I think.

This purchase was clearly aimed at PSVR2 and since VR is something that MS clearly isn't involved in it is definitely not a preventative move.

Really? You don't think MS, a company that is constantly entering markets it hasn't been in, isn't looking into VR? If Sony is making profit off of it then Microsoft absolutely would make profit off of it and will no doubt get into it. What better way to enter it than having proven developers that have made VR games? I stand by that this was a preventative move.
