Not sure about this but I think you’re looking at things from Apple or Android perspective. In those platforms, exclusivity is a selling point.
In this case, MS is taking a different approach and fill all the spaces they can possibly fill to be ubiquitous. Also, this is adding a lot more value to the Office product, which can be leveraged towards WP and say “look we have this thing you subscribe for, for free, in our own mobile platform…you’ll get faster updates, better integration and more functionality (I assume they’ll leave some for WP)”
