They likely have a few bean counters advising them on making these choices, but for some reason they come off to us as illogical, but probably make sense to them.
I personally don't think it's good nor consistent for them to just pick and choose what to release, where and when, because we end up hearing of SE being "disappointed" in some game IP sales over the years, and there's us wondering why the hell they haven't thought of the insanely smart idea of just releasing their games on as many platforms/storefronts as possible.
We know they aren't a mom & pop company, they can most definitely afford to release everywhere they can, and I know they have people who can project what returns they could make, but I still like to think that reaching as many people as possible can both earn you a good rep and long-term customers, and eventually good money down the line, vs a selected audience that can be loyal to you, but in turn you're not netting many new customers over the years, because you've chosen to limit your scope to the same audience on the same platform for years.
We've seen Sony being able to release on multiple storefronts at the same time, even for a dev like Kojima, it was possible to release DS on EGS/Steam, SE can afford to release the Pixel remasters everywhere else, even the consoles at the same time. I just think that the people calling the shots at SE are just short sighted or too old to understand modern marketing.
