Yes, and this is exactly why they don't support cross-platform play. You're right - PC players good with keyboard & mouse absolutely destroy the console players. They tried it on the X360 and that's exactly what happened, not really much fun in the long run for either group.
What you're missing is the marketing brilliance of a $150 controller that is also an official Microsoft product. Unlike keyboard & mouse it will be allowed in competitive online XBONE games like Halo 5, Call of Duty, etc. - and players who don't have the fancy new controller and start losing (which may or may not have anything to do with their old controller) will at first get butthurt and demand Microsoft ban or segregate out players with the new controller. When Microsoft tells them to get bent because it's an official approved product they'll feel compelled to buy one in order to compete. If they still suck it's their problem.
It's not like the PC gaming peripheral market is much different. Will a $150 12,000 DPI mouse automatically make you a better player? Nope. Lots of people seem to think so though.
