You implied the only reason DS remake's not on PS4 is because Sony wants it PS5-exclusive to sell more PS5s, but the existence of PS4 versions of Miles Morales and Horizon: Forbidden West kill this implication. If they really wanted to sell more PS5s with exclusives, they would have simply told Insomniac and Guerrilla Games to not make PS4 versions. Especially Horizon.
But they would lose out on money from the exclusive deals. Keep in mind they sell consoles at a loss, it's the games that make money. If everything was exclusive to PS5, they would only sell as many games as PS5 units were sold. The company has to keep making profit during the console transition.
Plus, all the other games and subscriptions people who purchase those PS5's buy. They lose out on money from say, not releasing Demon's Souls on PS4 to expand the audience, but that's a short-term play. They stand for greater future benefits by moving more hardware and getting more folks continuing to spend in their ecosystem as current-gen support fades.
Demon's Souls remake has also been confirmed for PC if no one knows, but it will be later like they did with Death Stranding.
What was the last SIE first party exclusive game published on PC 6-12 months later?
Waiting...
It honestly could come to PC one day, but the fact you think it will be anytime soon is hilarious when they literally have a massive backlog of PS4 games they could port much like Horizon 1.
