Because they want King for the mobile gaming aspect. They were preparing to launch a mobile game store on iOS once sideloading is allowed (rumored to be soon in Europe if not everywhere)

Why can't Microsoft buy the services they want (King) from Activision without buying Activision itself?

  They don’t want services, they want to own the product and grow those product revenues

    They might claim that... I suspect what the really want is to make the acquired products/services an exclusive of their own platform.

Then they should commission King to create content for their platform, or make their platform competitive with IOS/Play/Samsung stores to attract publishers. Platforms buying their content creators to make them exclusives is anti-competitive so I'm glad the CMA has done something, wish they would do it more often.
