Microsoft dev here, the internal rumours are that early testing revealed just how many third party products that had code of the form

and that this was the pragmatic solution to avoid that.
smart.
Xbox -> Xbox 360 -> Xbox One.

Ah, that actually makes sense. Apple and Google have certainly infringed significantly on their home users, and Apple is even starting to make in roads with corporate ones.
