Long story short: third party exclusive content is bad when it just exists to harm the others. If a game only exists by being funded by the console maker (Bayonetta and possibly SF5), that's a very different situation

I 100% agree with you. If a company invests into the development of the game, that's perfectly fine. Bayonetta is a good example of this. Bayo wouldn't exist without Nintendo.

Also SF5 was moneyhatted, just like Tomb Raider for Xbox. Don't read into the corporate lies. Capcom was always going to make another Street Fighter game just like Crytal Dynamic was with Tomb Raider. They will sell it to the media that they helped, but both Sony and Xbox had nothing to do with the development of the games, they just gave them money in advance to lock them down.

If company A gives company B money for a game, how is that not investing in it's development?

Also I need to ask, but why do you think these companies are accepting money for exclusivity?
