The Xbone and PS4 architecture is almost identical so it would require barely any time and resources porting it over from Xbone to PS4. With them being a small developer it actually makes much more sense to have it on PS4 because it's extra money. There is no good reason for it to not be on PS4.  

One reason is the extra money would be tiny. They probably saw how little the Xbox One version sold and didn't bother. Also you're forgetting that it's not just the time and resources for the port, it's also future time and resources with continuing to update that version and making sure it keeps working well by doing things like testing out any major updates on it before releasing them. It makes complete sense why they'd not wanna add a PS4 version to their workload for miniscule benefit.

Miniscule benefit? The PS4 has sold 118 million units and there's still roughly 50 million MAU on the platform today. You're saying that you can dismiss the PS4 based on the numbers you sold on Xbone but, you cannot use the numbers you got from Xbone to dismiss the PS4 because they are very different beasts. The latest COD performed extremely well on PS4 and there is still plenty of reason to release for it as long as you know the hardware can run your game. In the case of Palword, it can run on Xbone and get all the updates, so why ignore a console with 50 million MAU?
