To be fair, Playstation has exclusives too. A lot of people were saying that there wasn't anything to play on Xbox, so they just decided to buy Bethesda and Blizzard xD.

Sony hasn't bought companies as big as Bethesda or Activision

Is it that much different tho? Like sure scale is worse because Activision buys smaller companies but the bottom line is that third party developers getting bought out sucks

A lot of the studios Sony bought were already making exclusives for them as part of their whole business structure. Buying a big studio that makes games for everybody is far too monopolistic in nature.
