All they said regarding the aquisition of Bethesda was that they wouldn't make all their games exclusive. You're a fool if you thought Starfield wouldn't be exclusive. But unless Fallout and Elder Scrolls become Microsoft exclusive (Doom and Wolfenstein as well), you really have no argument here.

Microsoft said they'd decide it on a case by case basis, and every case has been for exclusivity. Regulators are not morons who say "Tee-hee, you got us!"
Microsoft violated the spirit of their agreement with regulators with Bethesda merger, so those same regulators aren't going to take them at their word now.

And what existing IP has Microsoft pulled from other platforms? I'll wait.

Redfall, Arkane's latest game, was literally in development for PlayStation as well as Xbox and was made exclusive.

It's still not an existing IP. Sony fans have not been deprived of any titles they've been able to play for years. Outside of Bethesda, Microsoft also owns Mojang and Minecraft. That a hugely successful title that is still available on multiple platforms. Microsoft could have taken that away. They could have taken Fallout, Skyrim etc away but they haven't.
If Sony had the money to do the same thing Microsoft is doing, would they do things any different than Microsoft? Sony's exclusive developers/games remain exclusive to their consoles. The outrage seems to be that you and everyone else hates that Microsoft has more money. But unless they take all these pre-existing titles away, what is there to really complain about?

So what you're telling me is that you have no fucking idea why these regulatory bodies exist. Gotcha.
