Definitely. Any marketing made by PlayStation Studios should always be under the assumption that marketing is being directed towards the console.

PC will always be considered after market in Sony's eyes for their traditional single-player games. GaaS titles remain to be seen. So Insomniac's marketing should've been taken at face value. 

I may be wrong, but I also think that most likely this was on the time that wasn't clear most Sony IPs would/could go to PC after about 2 years of release.

Most likely. It seemed kind of random what releases Sony IPs would release on PC initially. In 2021 when R&C originally released, it was just Horizon: Zero Dawn and Days Gone on PC, and Nixxes had barely been acquired. Initially fixing the Horizon port as well as being fully focused on both Spider-Man games. 

So it's hard to say if R&C was even being considered for PC at that time. For every brand new game now, I wouldn't doubt they're being made with the intent of being ported to PC 2 years down the road regardless of the title. That's just how it's being planned. 

Sony is still doing some catch up. You still have the likes of TLOU Part 2, Demon's Souls, Ghost of Tsushima as well as last years titles before we most likely start seeing dry spells on PC ports.
