Microsoft don’t have a distribution platform for PC games, even when they did no one used it. So the lonely be able to introduce this in games that they are the publisher for which is actually not that many games.

I’m very sure steam already prohibits in-game advertising. So Microsoft would have to distribute these games themselves and the moment that any publisher decides to go their own route they immediately decrease their revenue, even if nothing else has changed.
