Exclusives are the opposite of competition, though.

Maybe from your point of view, but exclusives move consoles. If someone's deciding between a PS5 and an Xbox Series X it's likely the exclusives that will make them choose one or the other. Part of the reason Xbox is far behind is because they just don't have many good exclusives.

Yes, anticompetitive behavior is profitable for trillion dollar companies and bad for consumers. You sound like a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" when you commiserate with corporations screwing people for profit.
