Supporting a handheld with dedicated games is a lot of software investment and sony literally did not have the teams, nor were they ever responsible for their own handheld success. Games like GTA, Final Fantasy etc were.
Just as we've seen with Switch and Series S, times have changed and tech has too. If Sony can create a 1:1 match for PS5 (CPU/SSD wise) and scale down GPU/RAM down, then they could have a machine that will inheret all of PS5's software with very little effort from developers beyond a patch. Potentially it could even be automated. If PS Vita played everyones PS3/PS4 games, I'm sure it would've been a bigger hit.
Xbox is in a better position to do this though, especially with the more reasonable speed SSD and the existence of Series S already. They could target a machine 1/2 XSS specs and use some sort of reconstruction to bring these up to 900p/1080p visuals + have a gamepass package as the price of admission.
