If you get it via game pass, the friction to get your save to the steam version means that a significant number of users who want to continue their game buy their version instead of on steam. For a game that's more about extended exploration and hooking you in to a world, that might balance out with "lost sales". Or at least keep people hooked long enough to spend more than they would have on the game itself.
