I think ultimately PixelOpus was basically viewed as being an indie-like dev. That was probably fine for Sony around the time of Entwined and through enough development of Concrete Genie.
But Sony also don't need indie-like devs since there are hundreds of indie devs making creative and well received games, that even good stuff like Concrete Genie just gets lost.
As for being a support studio, that is clearly not what PixelOpus was founded to do. And since they had a Sony Animation contract, they surely want to develop games themselves.
But it's impossible to tell why Sony are just shutting them down unless someone can dish us the deets.
But I do think it's disappointing. I believe Concrete Genie would've made a good foundation for a Ghostbusters game.
