The wording does seem open-ended, but note this phrase

> If you choose to link your Microsoft Xbox Services account with your account on a non-Microsoft service or sign in to your Xbox Services account to access a non-Microsoft Service...

I work on a service that tracks game activity for users, but we require them to go through the OAuth process and explicitly give us permission to do so.

> If you choose

Yeah and how much is it really a choice? Either you do this or you don't have access to <games or features of games> , but it's still "your choice". Shady as fuck and clearly not a 'choice'. Weasel words.

Yeah it seems like it's not that sinister of a clause. At least at first glance it reads as if nothing gets shared if you stick just to the game and not explicitly involve third-party services.
