How would making online gaming free help them though?

Would you be more inclined to purchase a game on PS4 if it has free online, than requiring a subscription to play online on another platform?

If you say yes to the former. Then that's how it helps them.

We have seen how much people didn't care for PS+ when it wasn't mandated and how much they subscribed to it after being mandated (with revenue equivalent to one game sold per year with the cost being maintenance and what they pay to put free games) and how little impact it had on the sales of HW and SW, so nope, free online wouldn't help Sony.
