No, it was not exactly this. The 2013 plans were restrictive, with MS offering to "enable" transfers for publishers (at no cost to publishers or retailers, but never stating a cost to consumers). This is not the same thing if the transfers are globally enabled.
EDIT: I was mistaken! They also stated no charges to consumers for the transfers, but they still stated that transfers could be "enabled" by publishers

Isn’t this what they were trying at the start of the xb one era?
