Well if Nintendo doesn't see the PS5 as competition then surely it would be ok with releasing it's games on there then? The fact that they aren't means they know that it does pose a threat to it. Sony on the other hand, Lego horizon adventures on Switch is no problem for them.

By that logic, shouldn't Sony put all their first party games on Xbox, since the Series doesn't pose a threat to PS5?

The numbers simply don't support the idea that PS5 is a threat to the Switch; the Switch has coexisted with the PS5 for the majority of its life, and yet it is on track to become either the #1 or #2 highest selling console of all time.

Trying the reverse logic again. It's different for Sony because the Series S is so much weaker than the PS5 that it would be difficult/impossible to get a game designed to run on PS5 to work on Series S. It either wouldn't work at all or it would take loads of development time and money for them only to achieve it running at 30fps. The power differential between the two is enormous. Game sales are also extremely low on Xbox as most users just use gamepass anyway, so there is no guarantee they would make the money back that they poured in to try and get the game working on there. 

So yes, if it was easy to get the games on there and people actually bought games on Xbox, sure, I think Sony could go ahead and do that just like Lego horizons on Switch.  In terms of hardware power, getting a Switch game to run on PS5, no problem at all and the incentive is there because there is good game sales on PS5. They won't though will they, because PS5 is their competitor.
