MS will always be a threat to Sony because Sony has a service just like GP called PS+ but one thing it does not do is day one release of their own games. 

Talk about a threat. Pretty much 0 game in 2022, and 2 so far in 2023 with one rated 59/100.

Your looking at this like a gamer instead of looking at it as a business.  MS looks to disrupt the gaming business with GP.  This is something that Sony does not want as it puts more emphasis on Game Pass type services than selling games at 70 pop at retail.  Sony has no incentive to put their games on PS+ day one and they do not want to be in a position to have to go down that route.  Yeah, MS production has not been great but if the only thing as a business you did was look at today and not prepare for tomorrow you would be out of business.
