If a game needs an SSD though, then in practise you won't be able to release it on PS4 as is because it wouldn't work on the majority of PS4s which aren't SSD equipped.

No different than Nintendo releasing 3ds exclusives requiring the new pro models, like xeno.  It cut out a lot of existing owners but they did it.  Sony absolutely could release games that require a ssd.

The ps4 factually supports ssd.  That isnt an opinion.

An SSD alone doesn't necessarily bridge the gap though; you can stream data from storage more quickly, but much of that data still needs to be decompressed and the PS4 will be bottlenecked there because it lacks the modern fast decompression hardware that systems like the PS5 and Switch 2 have.
