Being a podcast makes it pretty clear they'll only show up with mostly "bad news" for Xbox fans. They are probably going to be as indirect as possible as well.There's already Xbox fanboys on reddit taking victory laps saying this this format means it's a nothingburger in terms of ports.
What did you expect? A showcase?
It is podcast. Like over the net people's head talking. Or just casual talk about things in real life..So is it a real business update or a gala? The tone in the tweet could make you think either :/

I remember the first time it became clear to me Sony was going all in on PC ports was in a PlayStation podcast with Hermen Hulst.
Only stupid people will fall for it, the ports will speak for themselves. Hi-fi Rush and SoT are already two unexpected ports and for some reason none of the Activision games made it to Gamepass.Ehhh
It's a nothing burger.
It's a pod with Phil, Sarah and Booty. All this drama just for this?
They def changed their minds and will play it stupid.
Whatever m$ does, always apply low-medium tier effort at best. That's what expectations should be.Clearly not, as they are not showing any new games. I was expecting a business presentation, not a podcast, which is the most informal format you can think of.
But then again, par for the course for Xbox.
Long form podcasts are the ideal format for PR messaging. Allows you to gently drop bad news through vague messaging and a long string of caveats and hedges. Also, you can have your PR and lawyers go through every second of the podcast before you drop it to protect yourself from any lawsuits.Being a podcast makes it pretty clear they'll only show up with mostly "bad news" for Xbox fans.
