Probably a combination of things.
On top of not releasing on PC Day 1, if many more people own a Playstation, then there are also fewer people who have not yet played the PS games before.
Double dipping is less common than buying a game once.
As for play time, that usually depends on the type of game. Live Service games tend to have more replay value than stadard games.
Same goes for online or multiplayer vs offline or singe player, etc.

I don't think release dates are about respecting our time, but about our wallets, and what makes most sense for the publisher from a monetary perspective.
But these days there are so many games to play that I have a huge backlog of Day 1 purchases that I still haven't played, to the point where a delay for whatever reason probaby wouldn't bother me anyway.
