Yes Spider-Man on PS4 is a masterpiece. And it was ok because Sony paid for the whole development of the game. They were approached by Marvel, offered the deal and asked to choose a dev.

And most likely Sony told Marvel to not allow this game on other platforms. 

If you don't own it, than it shouldn't be exclusive, but hey that's just my opinion.

If you think Spiderman is a masterpiece than good for you. 

Sony was going to pay for the whole licensing, development, marketing, etc. The game was threated as first party (and probably already had negotiations to purchase Insomniac at the time). So why would it be multiplatform? If Marvel wanted it to be multiplat they would have looked to a publisher that isn't a platform holder. Well they done it with Avengers... now can we try and guess why they looked for Sony?
