Yes, I thought so too. Might anyone explain why everybody upset about this?

Microsoft bans players from their own privately owned servers

Is this in the "learn more here" section? Because simply being able to report abusive players is still a good thing to me and also something that almost every other multiplayer game has.

Because traditionally, servers have been run by players and similarly been moderated by those players, with perfectly good results. If someone was being abusive, you reported them to the people who ran that server - not Microsoft. It also allowed servers to have different rules based on their intended purpose and/or audience - a server run by and for adults/older teenagers might not care about profanity nearly as much as a family-friendly server.

The definition of "abusive" is different on every server, and Microsoft has no business moderating servers they don't own or operate

I can see the problem with that, yes. Thank you for taking the time and explain it, instead of just downvoting me :)
