How do you mean, Halo is already on PC? Though I don't know how it interfaces with your Xbox/Microsoft account, if at all when bought in Steam, it wasn't something that was changed after release.
And the issue isn't the account linking in and of itself, but this being made a requirement after the game has already come out and people have already purchased the game.
On top of that: PlayStation accounts are unavailable in many countries where this game has already been sold. Where it may have been a deal-breaker for some, others will effectively be locked out if no change to the policy is made.
Either way, adding this requirement after already having sold the game is ridiculous.
My brother bought me halo and I did need to link to microsoft. Would have never bought it but it was a gift, and I'll choose quality time with my bro over dying on hills.
The requirement was stated before release in the store page in a bright yellow warning message. It was supposed to be on launch but it seems there were issues with it.
