Engine scale-ability is indeed not magic, see CP2077. But since these games are coming from ps4 code base, they can only go up. Would it be nice to have GT7 and Ragnorak made from the ground up for ps5? Sure, but then they won't be out until 2024. GT Sport came out in a bare bones state in 2017, 4 years after the ps4 (and GT6) launched. New engine, made to make full use of the new gen, takes a lot of time to create. Santa Monica studios could maybe have started to work on a ps5 engine right after God of War released. However that would be working with lots of unknowns until the ps5 was finalized, then a 2 year pandemic slowing everything down, earliest possible release 2023, likely still 2024.
New stuff is coming, we just haven't invented time travel yet so studios can start working with the final specs and dev kits 4 years before launch :p

Great points. For people concerned about cross gen titles that aren't build from the ground to run on new hardware, I guess most of them are just no aware most of AAA/AAAA games development cycle is 3 years or even longer. I'm not sure if it's reasonable to expect a 2022 PS5 game to be built from the ground for PS5 since 2018 when not even PS5 architecture was finished
Business decisions aside, I thought it was common sense games that take full advantage of new hardware won't come before 2024
