Previous gens, they did do these deals. Even supposedly spending way too much money on some. So they certainly can.
But I think MS is a lot more interested in bolstering their internal lineup than making 12 month exclusives, that may or may not work out.
It probably makes more sense for MS to pay a studio $50 million to make a game that MS publishes, that they can keep on gamepass forever, as opposed to spending $50 million (suppose $20 million on a year of exclusivity and $30 million, I don't know what it would cost) to keep on gamepass for a few years.
Whereas Sony is more content with short term deals, because their console business is their priority, and it's a more time sensitive business. Sony wants to build momentum for their console, whereas MS wants to build a long term service.
