I don't think anyone will be surprised. Except for those that see MS as nothing more than a "big bad tech" they'll say this is just Sony doing good business.

What really gets to me here is there's nowhere to make a moral equivalence to MS' "big bad deals" of the past.  Even the worst fanboys can kinda understand when a lucrative deal blocks a rival's version if it would've never been made: MS was the only one to propel Titanfall to a AAA FPS like the team wanted and Street Fighter V would've been several more years away without Sony.  You have to pay the bills, after all.

But we're literally at the point of brand marketing deals acting as injunctions from Xbox versions or Game Pass altogether.  Just a totally hypocritical side in the face of their FTC/CMA whining.
