Yes, but others could do the same and will have to do the same if they want to get in on the business. It is not some insurmountable problem if Sony, Google, or Amazon wanted to get serious about cloud gaming. Microsoft is making the investment. It might not pay off. You can’t say something might be a monopoly one day. That is ludicrous, anything COULD be a monopoly one day.

The point that the CMA made is that the combined advantages that Microsoft has already with this acquisition will position it well ahead of the competition to the point where it will get a natural monopoly. Natural monopolies are still monopolies even if no one else right now wants to compete. This is literally what regulators like the CMA are here for.
