First things first, do you have the money to spare? If the $200 is tight and gong to affect your daily life I would say no don't buy it as you can play games on your pc. Only reason I start off with that is I have known many people buying things they don't really need and have something that already fills that role when expenses are tight and ends up just causing many problems and headaches. I never want to steer someone in that direction.
If $200 is good and not gonna negatively impact you then lets talk about justifying it. I understand where you are coming from with this, I own a PS4 Pro, One X, and high end PC so justifying my purchases was something I had to do a lot. For me it came down to what role the purchase was for and is it filling that role to a state I deem acceptable. Me as an example, my pc is my primary platform, some friends play on it, I buy all my multiple plats for the most part on it and its my main focus. PS4 Pro I bought for playing the sony exclusives and playing CoD with friends form college that only had a PS4. One x I just got recently as I couldn't justify having one up until recently even though I wanted one. I have the One X solely to play Halo and RDR2 on my 4k TV. Total chill platform I play when I don't want to be competitive or sit at my desk. Before RDR2 I couldn't really justify the One X just for Halo so I waited until now. So that's my experience and all my purchases are fulfilling their roles and I am rather satisfied.
Now on to you. You want an xbox to play destiny with your friends. Few things to consider. What is a acceptable amount of playtime for you? Every day, once a week, once a month? Obviously having to platforms means you can only play one at a time and that time is limited. If you want to play every day or frequently but know you ultimately won't then it may not be a good purchase and etc. Another thing is friends are playing Destiny now but will they move to another game in the future that you can't play with them while on pc? Obviously its hard to determine that now but you know your friends and what their game choices are like. And a good last question would be will you use it for other than its main goal. Like will you play MCC or another MS exclusive you can't play on PC? I for one use the 4k Blu Ray player on mine often enough. I feel if you can answer these questions and get a good idea of what you want out of it you can determine if its justifiable.
Hope it helps!
