what's even the point of buying Xbox hardware anymore

Game Pass really, that's the service MS is betting on. Sure, GP could come to other competing major consoles, but it's just going to be xcloud.

To run any GP game, natively, is likely to remain with needing an Xbox console or PC for a long long time. And the first major console will probably be on something from Nintendo, just like it'll be a cold day in hell before Sony releases any of their s-tier first party stuff on Xbox it'll be the second cold day in hell before they allow GP on their console.
