It's a strong solid platform and if it's developed with Microsofts blessing then that alone eliminates the battle that Apple tv and the like have to fight. Apple is always releasing updates to counter all the hard work that has been done therefore creating more work for the development team to repair the damage. If Microsoft grants developer rights then you have them working with you as opposed to against you. To me that is the strongest reason to do it.
XBMC Raspberry Pi users outnumber all other OS/platform user groups for XBMC usage. They are the largest group of XBMC users today. Not Windows, not Mac OS X, not iOS/ATV2, not Android, not even desktop linux versions. Raspberry Pi. Yes, really.

I think it would be in their best interests to work with you. After all with modding they risk game piracy while working with you it can be prevented. As far as media content goes it's not theirs thats at risk. Give the people what they want and they'll work with you not against you. As far as ATV goes thats a system that is updated infrequently and once it is you have to work around the new update. While as a developer they let you know before hand of the update so you can incorporate the changes into your program (correct me if i'm wrong but I believe thats how it works). I do appreciate you listening to my point of view without getting all defensive like some people tend to do. I'm not trying to antagonize anyone just change the thought process a bit. I realize XBMC is not Plex my only point is simply if Plex has been granted permission than why not XBMC?
No one has actually said "no" to any of this. Tons of skepticism, sure, but no one is stonewalling a port of XBMC to xbox one, no one (yet) has said it wouldn't be allowed, and no one says it isn't technically possible. However, no one
wants to work on this.
If you can find someone who wants to work on it and can actually pull it off, heck, that would probably get them formally invited to join Team XBMC, and a parade thrown in their honor.

Well I tried Plex since it'll end up on XboxOne and man is it a piece of shit. 12 hours of steady work and I mean work trying to get it to run properly and it's still not working. Please bring XBMC to the XboxOne.

I'd love XBMC on the X1, after all isn't the X1 striving to be the "One" device for everything?

I think the main problem would be the XMBC plugins. Many of them while being functionally cool, suck from the point of quality and performance. My RaspBMC all the time crashes or hangs because of some plugins. Microsoft would not allow this on XBOX One because it would compromise the platform.
