This is because: 1. Xbox charges a licensing fee, which increases the cost of the controller (the MSRP of the Xbox model is $10 more than the non-xbox wired model). 2. Xbox only licenses wired 3rd party controllers, the only wireless licensed controllers are the 1st party ones. 3. For a controller to be licensed for Xbox, it can't also support other consoles like the Switch. You need the version that says for Xbox to use it on Xbox.
