What a bummer. (Destiny)
I see it more as they knew 343i wouldn't do as well as they did with it, that it 343 would turn it into CoD-Halo and franchise it (which it pretty much did).
It is clear that the Halo series is MS's killer app and tent pole franchise. MS wants Halo to be the big FPS draw on every iteration of their platforms, and 343 is the vehicle to make that happen. This attitude undoubtedly came out during the discussions. The MS marketing execs probably thought it would be a compelling argument for the Bungie staff to stick around. "hey, this game is money. Just stick around and iterate and you will have security and success."
For a group that pretty much burned out shipping Halo 2 and 3, it's easy to see how that wouldn't be much of an incentive at that time.
