There's a big thing to consider here that you're purposefully ignoring.
Mid-2013 the game was already way into development, according to Phil Rogers. When the deal was made with Microsoft, we had literally no idea which platform was going to come out on top so at the time, with the money Microsoft were offering, it could have been a great decision. Other publishers also thought that Microsoft would take the 360's momentum into Gen 8 and see a roaring success (see Titanfall). Nothing idiotic about taking an early risk and publishers don't *have* to support PlayStation just as they don't *have* to support Microsoft or Nintendo.
If you want an idiotic decision, look no further than releasing it on the same day as Fallout 4, or releasing the PS4 version right between FIFA and Battlefield.
As for the brand being damaged, give me a break. A late port has seen sales you'd expect from a late port. Stop trying to blow things out of proportion.
