I'm not sure Microsoft did this generation of consoles any favours by launching the Series S.

So MS enforcing a level of quality is a good thing then. The alternative is 12 fps at 720p.

Not in my opinion: if you read the article, it clearly says that Microsoft enforcing a level of quality for dated hardware leads to devs abolishing features that the hardware series S hardware won't be able to support. They also can't decide to not support the S unless they abandon the Xbox series X as well. It leads to lower quality games for everyone, not just series S owners.
