The MP roadmap has always clearly been about supporting the financing of their bigger projects. That's even more clear now imo when you consider the price Sony is paying for the licensing of X-Men, and the general increased costs of AAA gaming.
On top of this, looking at sales performance for PS5 Vs the Series S/ X in EU, it's no doubt the lasting impact Ryan has had on the PS brand.
The dude knows the business better than almost anyone in the industry, and he's been working for a long time.
I doubt he was just pushed out because of MP (especially when there's still so many of them in development at Sony)
