Quite a few of my favourites of that era had proper Xbox One releases, such as the Halo, Batman and Bioshock series. Even these however have often been improved further for Series X.
BC with the Xbox One was amazing, the performance improvements they have added with the Series X make many better than on the original hardware. Recently I have been going back to a few Xbox classics such as KOTOR and Timesplitters 2, they still play great.
Two things they could improve is make more games compatible (not sure why they drew a line in the sand and said they were stopping). Also make more of them available for sale on the store (ideally at sensible prices).
In the past few months they have got rid of the weekly game related challenges on Xbox, reduced the value of earning an achievement daily to 5 from 50, limited the search rewards so you have to use them slower and now killed the main earners on PC. The feeling that I was earning rewards has had me using my Xbox along with the PC and Mobile apps in a daily loop for over a year now. Personally it is no longer worth that commitment. Not going to complain as it was good while it lasted, but it is no longer worth doing any action you wouldn't already be doing.
