„It” is probably a stab in the back, if companies were capable such things. Microsoft published their previous games as Xbox exclusives so it’s safe to assume some kind of relationship existed. Microsoft stabbed lots of their employees in the back recently.

Didn't they buy themselves free from Microsoft?

Microsoft was their publisher only and their new game is being published by Take-Two.

Ah I can see that take, especially after reading the recent quotes from Zenimax employees about how the recent round of playoffs went too.

The CEO also said "we'll first support the platform that has the most users purely out of resource reasons". He later says he expects to support all platforms eventually. So as much as I love to hate on Microsoft, this seems like more of the cold calculations of business than a response to a perfcoved slight. Xbox simply is not an attractive platform for anyone not owned by Microsoft to prioritize right now.
