Nope. They cannot charge for patches nor exclusive Pro updates. "We are not allowed to charge you for patches or pro feature updates. The “fees” include anything we have to swallow to update our past games for you. The internet can calm down. There is nothing we can do to leverage pro features or patches with price. Nothing.

Bolded is literally what I said, "Devs CAN charge, maybe similar to DLC, for a pro-upgrade on an existing game.".
Seems to me Sony is telling devs that if they choose to upgrade an existing game they can handle this as a DLC type experience. But any unlaunched game cannot as the devs were well aware of this functionality and should have planned for those costs.
