Making it bi-annual, exclusive, and putting it on gamepass is a pretty good way to cut its legs off.
Either Microsoft get bold with it and shoot for the stars with exclusivity and risk lowering its mindshare amongst the other multiplayer games or it keeps the status quo and continue to just benefit from the additional revenue streams.
Theres a good reason why EA, Ubisoft, Riot and other companies didn’t care because they see an advantage of growing their multiplayer games if CoD isn’t multiplatform. Stuff like Apex and a Rebooted battlefield can gain even more marketshare.

Microsoft doesn’t need to make CoD exclusive to benefit from this acquisition.
It’s all about the mainstream’s perception.

Idk I disagree with a lot of what you're saying here.
And EA, Ubisoft, etc dont care because they dont sell consoles lol. This is almost entirely inconsequential to them.

We’ll just have to see, but I dont think CoD will be the sales behemoth or control even a 3rd of the mindshare it does now as an exclusive multiplayer title

They might leave war zone multiplat and just create a whole new game call Warfront powered by Call of Duty or some shyt 
just like how Dodge has the 392 listed as an RT but the engine says powered by SRT

FTC and CMA are onto them
I mean unless we have specifics I'm sure they have lawyers good enough to exploit gray areas.

Lowkey I wanna see it happen too just to see how competitive Sony gets.
If there's anything that I wanted to play that Xbox takes away from PS, I can just get it on PC.

The sales numbers will be lower as a gamepass game and exclusive, but the playerbase will remain and continue to be a juggernaut, and be a definitive system seller.
The chances of another game rising from the ashes of CoD after it built such a dedicated and obsessive fanbase are extremely slim, and if it did exist, it wouldn't be anything that Sony had anything to do with, as that would just be CoD vs. whatever Sony developed. It would have to be an outsider, and none of the outsiders seem up to the task. I seriously doubt the likes of EA or Ubisoft would try to create a CoD competitor this late in the game when they've failed time and time again to do so
