Back in the day, it was reported Microsoft had paid game stores like GameStop to put the Sega Dreamcast in the back of the store, so I wouldn’t be surprised

That makes no sense. Microsoft was a Sega partner during the Dreamcast era and didn't enter the console market until after Sega had quit.

It would make sense - Microsoft used the Xbox to push DirectX over OpenGL, and that is how stores were laid out at the time. It's just been enough years I can't verify whether it was a rumor or actually happened

That still makes no sense since the Dreamcast supported DirectX and not OpenGL.
