Honestly, I think it's WAY more straight forward than this.
I think Microsoft has created this problem for themselves, because they now have too many games. They went from struggling to release 1-2 first party games a year, to now having maybe 10-15 first party titles if they keep up this momentum. $20 a year was fine when you're only funding a few games, but giving away $800-1000 worth of first party titles (and dozens of third party ones) for $240 a year really isn't a great business decision.
If you played all of the things they delivered, it could be considered incredibly good value, but most of us don't or won't, and they just don't have the volume of users yet to keep prices down like other streaming services.
