I linked to the article for people to read. If I didn't want them reading the whole thing I wouldn't have provided a source.

"I don't have to ship those games on any other platform than MS platforms" is perfectly compatible with "We didn't buy Zenimax to withhold games." so long as MS doesn't withhold games. And yet they did.

"We didn't buy Zenimax to withhold games." => This is talking about a motivation. They didn't buy Zenimax with the sole intention of ensuring that Starfield never came to Xbox. They bought them to pad their lineup for Gamepass and Xbox, and otherwise support them.

Whether they end up doing that or not, doesn't necessarily have anything to do with their motivation.
