Is it a sign of Sony being open to offer more IPs on the Switch/2 or it’s just a sign that they wanted have a Lego brand and that was a non-negotiable part of the deal?

Leaning towards the latter.

If LEGO chose the platforms XBox and PS4 would be included. Sony signed off on this. 

You can bet your ass if Nintendo ever does a LEGO Mario game (which LEGO would say yes to in half a second), Nintendo would have full control on the game never ending up on anything but a Nintendo platform. 

Possibly, but if your consider the IPs value, for Lego, having Mario in their catalogue is definitely worth the concession they can give Nintendo in the deal they signed.

For Sony, it’s the other way around, the Horizon IP is still young and need to be a proven merch seller if they to be more restrictive in the deal they have with Lego. I’m sure the intention is to have Horizon in the Lego catalogue, but if that mean going multiple platforms on a game, that’s a fair deal.

As for PS4/XB, there can be a lot of reasons. Moving on from PS4 an XB1, maybe just a licensing issue for GP on Series X/S.
