Because Nintendo was the one who pulled out, plus the two of them have worked together on number of occasions as of late (including but not limited to the upcoming Zelda movie).
Sony Pictures =/= PlayStation. If that were the case, the GameCube wouldn't have gotten game adaptations of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man movies, nor would the Switch have the Funimation/Crunchyroll dubbed Dragon Ball games.
Nintendo and PlayStation have bitter history. Simple!
Nintendo marketed MLB: The Show '22 harder than Sony themselves, in addition to pushing Kratos & Aloy in Fortnite through the Nintendo News account in the Switch News section (not even just having Epic do it themselves). They don't see the console rivalry in the way fans think they do.
MLB: The Show 22 is an MLB product. They were the ones who forced Sony into making that series multiplat, due to them being the ONLY MLB game left (like how Madden is the only NFL game left, but EA was already multiplat).
Fortnite? The same Fortnite that couldn't get Samus for obvious reasons?
Also, the Dragon Ball thing just isn't true. The Switch 1 got both DBFZ & Kakarot, both of which had the usual Funimation/Crunchyroll dub cast for English.

It's not that deep.
