Pretty sure Nintendo paid for console exclusivity and published it in the west. Otherwise there's no way they wouldn't add a PS4/5 version alongside the PC 

In addition to Nintendo's moneyhatting, it's possible Capcom just wants to associate specific experiences to each sub series.

I predicted they'd have two Monster Hunter lines, one for PS/Xbox and the other for Switch. I made that prediction AFTER World's breakthrough. Nintendo's money alone wouldn't possibly make up for the huge loss in sales. Perhaps Capcom surmised porting up to PS4/5 would be a little jarring in the context of World and expectations from PS5.

Still strange that they not once tested releasing a Nintendo + Playstation MH, not even as late ports!

Monster Hunter has had two separate lines long before World, with the numbered entries and Freedom Unite 1-3 + Generations.

I guess they just want to stick with what has worked for them for so long, in addition to likely some generous moneyhatting from both sides.
