No. they don't.

Many japanese games (apart from Nintendo ones) are never launched outside Japan. 

Japanese companies develop for Japanese taste and market 90% of the time. More specially the 2nd and 3rd row companies.
Switch is starting to become the only platform they really use. Even the bigger ones, like Konami, Square Enix, Sega, Bandai Namco or Capcom only publish very limited number of games outside Japan every year, and when they do that, those also appear in PC... or they just make exclusive smartphone games. No exclusives for PS5.

Yes, they publish in Xbox some games, cause One and Series are basically a PC, like PS4 and PS5 are. Just cause that. Very easy and cheap to adapt.
But PS5 games in the japanese weekly top 30, in the fifth year of PS5, are basically residual. 

So... what were you complaining about? No relevant developer (aside of Square timed exclusives) is releasing their games only on PS5, they are all multiplat and only avoid Switch when they cannot be sure Switch will run their games in an acceptable state

I just checked the list of the to 100 best selling games according to Famitsu in 2023 and I could barely find anything that didn't get a worldwide release, so please bother to elaborate which are the Japanese developers releasing games only in Japan and making them PS5 exclusive?
