Imagine if you released your entire fucking thirty year old library.

PS4 and PS5 games are much easier to port to PC since those consoles are essentially PC hardware.

Older games need to be rebuilt for completely different hardware, so it's actually a lot more work. Not to say it wouldn't be nice, but it's not as easy and may not be worth the money, and there is less interest for a lot of that stuff.

Old enough games can be emulated and run just fine. There's already emulators for everything, Sony could build their own and just embed the game inside and it wouldn't be much bigger than most other games.

I think it has more to do with license than technical issues.
