(It's similar to how most Nintendo Wii games were de-facto exclusives simply because the control system had to be tailored for the waggle wands. So being on Wii precluded being on XBOX or PlayStation.)

Unless their TOS are too restrictive, Kobo plus should do pretty well in the near term.
I thought Kindle Unlimited exclusivity means you cannot sell your book anywhere else. Kindle Unlimited books can't be sold for any price in any manner on Kobo or any other store. If books in Kobo plus are not exclusive, I take that to mean that you can still sell your book on Amazon for regular price. That's a big difference.
