Considering Xbox is a subsidiary of Microsoft, being on PC (using Steam as a distributor) is still technically within their ecosystem, as Microsoft is primarily a PC software company.

So, yes, it pretty much means "not on PS5".

    within their ecosystem

    Only if you use windows. Steam runs on linux as well, and the majority of the same games play perfectly.

    I'm certain the moment Microslop feels threatened by Linux they'll come out with some new standard (like UWP but even worse) that is deliberately made as hard as possible to get it running on Linux and then force all their games to use that. They'll get to sell on Steam and still lock you into Windows.
