Right. I agree on the bolded. Plans change all the time, but speculating that every XBO exclusive will eventually end up on PC is a fools errand, since there's about as many examples to the contrary, it's not worth the discussion until its announced or at least rumored.
On the otherhand, you really never see this sentiment with PSNow, which is odd, because it has a lot of main entries (not spin-offs or digital only titles), the spec buy-in is lower (anything netflix ready) and ...well Sony didn't buy Gakai to stop at PS3 games and then nothing else for the rest of eternity. PS4 games will come eventually, there's no question of that. Only how long it will be until they show up.

Again, there have been plenty of similar discussions about PSNow. They just happened to mostly concern games with little relevance to the present generation, and in the absence of any new fuel, the topic died out.
Exclusive PS4 titles will no doubt make their way to PSNow eventually, but with no reference point for when that might happen, it's another null-topic. If it ends up being after the start of the 9th gen, or if they simply wait very long periods of time before bringing individual titles over (i personally think it'll be a combination of the two, with PS4 multi-plats arriving a while before anything else) we end up back at the "little relevance to the present generation" point. That makes for a dull topic.
It's for that same reason that X1/PC topics have become less frequent, and often get less posts than they used to. Lacking a strong recent reference points for when (or if) we might see more X1 titles end up on the PC, it becomes a null-topic. It's certainly true that the X1/PC side of this discussion has been perpetuated longer than it should have been, but i think that can mostly be credited to how stuff like Ryse and DR3 were handled. They added an awful lot of fuel to the fire (versus a lack of any fuel with PSNow), and it's taken a while to settle down.
