I wouldn't be surprised if ASUS is getting kickbacks from Microsoft, since the ROG Ally is quite aggressively priced despite coming with a Windows 11 license, and it comes with a 3-month trial of Xbox Game Pass. And it'd make sense why Microsoft would support device manufacturers - the Steam Deck is really dangerous to Microsoft's Game Pass vision since you can't really use it out of the box there.
