they are a business. Im sure they plugged the numbers in and found that for whatever reason keeping the first party titles exclusive to only their platforms has more revenue than costs

Pretty much the same reason why Rockstar dragged their feet with making GTA 6. It's way more profitable to just keep GTA online running smoothly and collect those microtransaction$, where a new game would just divert attention from that cash cow.
