It just doesn't help their narrative as a console platform. Especially what Phil has said above. Why not put everything on Switch years later? Doesn't benefit Xbox fans at all. Can't wait for hi fi to get a physical on Switch and not xbox lmao. Can't even negotiate getting Bayonetta 2 and 3 either. Sure other studios at xbox aren't thinking why not put our games on switch as well? Least their audience supports their games blah blah blah.

Keep hearing about how it would mean extra revenue (I mean no shit could say that about everything being on multiple platforms). Not like Xbox is close to tencent in sales.

Can't blame other devs for skipping xbox when MS doesn't even prioritize Xbox.

Yeah, that is the thing that frustrates me most with Phil's Switch ports so far, they never negotiate to receive anything at all in return, nothing Nintendo 1st party on Xbox, nothing Nintendo 2nd party on Xbox, not even a Nintendo 3rd party hat like Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (over 4 years Switch exclusive now), SMT V (over 2 years Switch exclusive now), or Rune Factory 5 (2 years Switch exclusive now). Meanwhile Phil has now given Switch owners late ports of Ori 1, Ori 2, Super Lucky's Tale, and I believe at least one other game which escapes my memory. Not to mention the day one Switch ports that have come from Xbox studios like the Minecraft spinoffs and The Bard's Tale Remastered. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, giving away exclusives and potential exclusives and getting nothing in return for it.
