Is it weird that I just do not care about this stuff? Like, as long as I keep getting great GamePass content, MS can put games wherever for all I care

Definitely not weird, I'm close to the same mind as you, Game Pass has honestly been one of the best things I've had in gaming, Lol.

As I grow older, I care less about the console itself and I just want to play great games. Sure, if Xbox stopped making consoles I'd feel a little sad due to memories but I still had all those great memories and then I'll simply make a quick move to PC still with my Xbox profile, Lol. I do think it would be "dangerous" for Sony to have that much power on the market though.

At this point, I'm only with Xbox due to convenience and because I'm scared of Windows Store issues I'm also a bit wary about the whole PC building, upgrading, all those settings and stuff, Lol. So I'll keep buying Xbox consoles as long as Microsoft keeps making them. But ultimately I'm a happy fella as long as my gaming belly is being fed and Microsoft keeps making games, keeps pumping content into Game Pass.

I'm incredibly excited by a lot of their upcoming games, doesn't change anything to me where they release and I fucking love Game Pass.

This has always been my mindset. I have all 3 consoles but the console that gets the most time has always been the Xbox.  I purchase a Xbox not because of how many exclusives it has but currently the eco system is my primary place for games.  Its funny because we have been down this road before.  When MS announced that they are putting all their first party games on PC, we got the same doom and gloom comments.  So now we have rumors that MS may put HiFi Rush on Switch and SOT on both PS and Switch and suddenly we are doom and gloom again for games which mind you probably should be on those platforms.  It doesn't make sense for a service game to stay exclusive to one platform, MS should always put service games on as many platforms as they can.  As for HiFi rush, the switch is definitely the place for a game like that and it probably going to sell just as well as Ori did.

I actually would find it silly for Sony to limit any of their service games to just the PS.  Its a waste of resources when those service depend on as many users as possible.  Why is Fortnite as big as it is, because you can play it on everything.  Now all service games will be as big as fortnite but every service game needs to be on as many platforms as possible for growth and support.
