Why Are Sony Letting Microsoft Bully Them Out Of Familiar Franchises?

The three games you mentioned have never been Playstation exclusives throughout their entire life. In fact all three had their start on a Microsoft system.

The Metal Gear series started on the MSX and MSX2
GTA had its start on PC Windows.
Final Fantasy was remade for the MSX2 system in 1989.

stop doing damage control, we know video game too

MG serie didnt appear on PSX but he raised to mainstream level with MGS1 that was on PSX exclusvily. I do not need to mention the hype level on internet for the MGS2 release ... Talking about affiliation to the PS brand compared to the Xbox brand makes complete sense.

GTA, even if it started on PC, was strongly associated with the PS brand even if I do agree that GTA has never be a "real" console exclusive since it quickly appeared on Xbox too. I do agree.

FF has been exclusive to the PS plateform from FF7 to FF12 I do think (putting away FF11).
Of course, previous episode were exclusive to the Ninty plateform but we all know that FF serie got his mainstream occidental glory (europe+NA) with FF7 (ask yourself why people want FF7 remake and not FF6 remake ...).
Again, talking about affiliation to the PS brand compared to the Xbox brand makes complete sense.
