F-Zero AC is not the same game as F-Zero GC. So no, the GC version is exclusive. If the GC version was indeed an exact arcade port (minus the quarters), you'd have a point... but it's not. Arcade-to-home really is the place with the most conversion going on... even in "straight ports" generally a few things are changed. Though some (like Metal Slug 3 for X-Box, or KOF00-01 for PS2) are much more faithful arcade ports than others, most of them do change things (like in KOF they have 3d-ish backgrounds). That's really a modified port... which is different from releasing the same exact game on multiple systems.
And yes, I think it's pretty silly to call something "exclusive" when it's not. And being on the PC definitely makes it not exclusive... PC is another gaming platform! (and modified ports really do count for 'it's not exclusive'... sure, it's changed, but in most cases the game itsself is the same. You could only make an argument against that if you do like that Sega Classics collection and completely remake the titles... then it's remakes, not ports or modified ports. :))
