Since console hardware is converging towards PCs (as opposed to specialized hardware stratified by make), as well as the expansion of the PC market (which has a massive range of hardware of varying price points and capabilities) the benefits of making a game against the limits of a specific console is less and less of a good idea versus targeting a wide market. If you aren’t stuck to exclusivity for a single console, then it makes sense to target previous generation consoles if possible in order to maximize the size of the potential market.

Isn’t an Xbox just a glorified Windows machine these days?
Xbox has always been a glorified windows machine
Time to install Linux on an Xbox instead of buying a PC
Microsoft would love to sell PCs as locked down as Xboxes. That’s the ultimate goal of the TPM.
They already run a cut down windows lol
Yeah, so why not fix the bug?
I would be all for it actually
