This has been coming ever since they bought Minecraft.
On one end is control, and on the other end is freedom from responsibility.
Since MS wants to continuously increase control (for example: by providing a version of Minecraft with a marketplace that they take a cut of), they must also take on increasing amounts of responsibility. Continuing far enough down this path means that every safety and security concern becomes theirs to deal with.
In contrast, Notch originally did almost nothing to control what players did and only trivial amounts of responsibility were placed on him.
The same piling on of responsibilities happened to Apple when they started selling Music.
