But we already know its not.

"It will connect directly to Xbox Cloud Gaming servers to reduce latency, much like how Google’s Stadia controllers used to work."

Nothing about user authentication in that sentence.

The controller sends nput direct to the server via WiFi, rather than via Bluetooth through the viewing device. Removes some latency, which given how much latency cloud having introduces makes a difference.

To make it more portable would be my guess. Same reason the Switch is flat.
