Call of Duty is a huge franchise that makes bucket loads of money on yearly games, season passes, DLC, other monetization, merchandising, esports, and more. It's so much bigger than the ZeniMax catalog. Microsoft have no reason to gate 50% of the playerbase for "hardware exclusivity" given that lucrative revenue channel.

The reason is to get (eventually, almost) 100% of the player base.
