If piracy was a problem I can find them multiple international corporations that are well know for using copyrighted content to train their LLM without paying for it or having permission from the owner of that content.

This is what happens when the person running the business does not patronize the business and is only interested in short term profits.

They didn’t have a good history before that either. MS sucks at everything.

Why would they create the optical to digital DRM program if they were keeping optical drives in the next system?

MS wanted to kill the secondary market since the start of the 8th generation in 2014. Their DRM rules are a big reason why a lot of people dropped Xbox to switch to PlayStation.

Is there any reason why you or anyone would give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt?

Expect the worst from MS and you’ll never be disappointed.

All to trap people in their digital ecosystem. They could have easily offered an optional optical drive on their next system.

MS sucks.

The reboot trilogy was a bit too close to Uncharted. I enjoyed those as shooters but they never felt like a true continuation of classic Lara Croft games.

Death Stranding style of traversal challenge is closer to classic Lara Croft than Uncharted ever was. The bean counters only follow trends though.

grappling hook, RPG-esque stats, skill trees and quick time events

So many game developers only know how to do derivative slop.

I am hoping for a more realistic and challenging Tomb Raider game instead of cinematic crap that plays itself. I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.
