The biggest threat to Sony and it's shareholders would be a competitive Xbox outselling PlayStation. I don't think it's right to separate competition and pleasing shareholders. One of the best ways to please shareholders is to beat your competition. I also don't agree with them being in a similar situation either. Look at Palworld as an example. Palworld released on Xbone and and XBS consoles, but on PlayStation it only released on PS5. The PS4 is more powerful than the Xbone and could have ran Palworld too. This shows that Sony cared more about PS5 sales than sales of Palworld. Xbox didn't care what platform you played it on. It just proves that Sony still cares more about selling consoles than selling software, and that brings us back to Lego Horizon adventures. They weren't willing to put Palworld or LHA on PS4 but they were switch, why. It can only be because they are worried about people keeping their PS4's and not buying PS5's. They clearly have no fear of Switch preventing sales of PS5

Your example of a 3rd party game skipping ps4 because Sony wants more ps5 sales is ridiculous. First of all, it's a 3rd party games. Sony's not dictating if it has to be on ps4 or ps5. This comes down to the developer or publisher of said game. If you were right about Sony being worried about people not buying ps5s, they wouldn't have spent the first 2 years releasing their own 1st party games on ps4. Not to mention games release on the ps4 all the time, and will continue to in 2025. 

I'm not going to address your other arguments because they are as asinine as this point. 

All you do is shift your arguments around to make whatever point you are trying to make to defend Sony. Anyone who spends any amount of time reading your comments understands this . 

Whilst it may technically be a third party game, Sony and Pocketpair entered into a partnership before it's release on PS5. It makes no sense why they put it on Xbone but not on PS4. PS4 sold twice as much as Xbone did and it's more powerful too. I believe part of the deal of their partnership was to not release it on PS4 to help with PS5 sales. There is no way of proving this theory, but again why release it on Xbone but not PS4?
