Nobody can "get" exclusives. They don't exist anymore. There's first-party games - there's games the first party funded into existence - and everything else runs on whatever customers have.

Developers want to sell games... to people. Hardware is an obstacle. They don't want to care which color of deliberately incompatible generic computer you bought. Shipping five near-identical versions of the same damn game is a button they push in Unreal 5, and that's why they put up with Unreal 5.
