There have been many situations where companies have pulled out of disagreeable regulatory environments.

If microsoft decided to no longer do business in the UK (not happening - it's a bluff) it would not be beholden to their decision.

It would be a different situation if either company was based in the UK, but that's not the case.

Not on this level, it’s usually a specific product or service that isn’t compatible with existing regulation.

There is a very big difference between that and seeking permission and being told no and then acting like a 5 year old which is what Microsoft and Activision are doing.
