I don't actually mind the cross-gen for first party games that much, but I do mind how Sony marketed themselves and these games. Especially with how Jim Ryan vehemently stated "We believe in generations" and wanted to get as many players onto the new console as quick as possible, and people like Mark Cerny making it seem like these games would've only been possible to develop for the PS5 because of the hardware.
Ever since the console reveal presentation last year, which was omitting the fact that major games like Miles Morales and Horizon II: Forbidden West was also being released on PS4, they set the tone of scepticism for each major first party game like God of War: Ragnarok that was being announced or revealed for the PS5, making us wonder if they're also cross-gen games as well. I have no doubt these games will be fantastic and will be even better on the PS5, but it's not the best impression to make to state one thing so openly and do the complete opposite, while also making it a bit harder to shell out on a new and expensive console, which was in a bit of a drought of major games shortly after launch.
