Of course Sony sees the PC as a competitor. There are gamers on PC that Sony is trying to bring over to Playstation with their wallets.
And Steam can take users away from console platforms as well, why do you think the Playstation 4 Pro and Xbox One X was invented? To narrow the stupidly large graphics superiority that the PC had that gave PC significant growth during the latter half of a generatio

Just because Sony wants PC gamers in their ecosystem doesnt mean PC is a direct competitor.

Getting PC gamers to choose a PS4 over an X1 is what they want. X1 and MS are their competitiors. XB/ MS are generally seen as closer to PC. Even if the gap is to be closer to PC its about making the jump from PC to PS4Pro easier for a PC gamer to make over PC to the much weaker X1. And that is really what it is.

Still, as I said, they support PS4/ PC releases, have published on PC, support cross play between their hardware and PC, and have pushed PS Now on PC.

"PC isn't a competitor".

But then you state that Sony is competiting with PC to grab some of their gamers/wallets/marketshare so they don't go over to Xbox?
Okay then. Can't fault that logic.
