It's a combination of factors I think; the series' focus on graphical fidelity has kept it on consoles Japan doesn't much care for since the 7th gen, the games since then have had mixed reception, a whole generation of Japanese gamers have now grown up without playing it as kids the way Millennials and Gen X did and so don't have that attachment with it, PS5 just isn't a healthy platform for software in Japan, etc.

This reminds me of the scene from the anime Summertime Rendering where an adult is surprised that the teen MC hasn't played FF7 and his response is that he wasn't even born yet when it came out.
