I get what you're saying and I'm sure all the MBAs at Microsoft are shitting bricks, but I never fully understand why a company would be disappointed with a service like this one even doing only slightly better than breaking even.

Not everything needs to have infinite growth and gigantic margins as long as $-in > $-out.

Opportunity cost. The money they are spending on Gamepass could be spent on something else with a better return.
