In addition to what others said, PS5-tier consoles with custom silicon are extremely expensive to develop.
Sony needs a critical mass of 1st/3rd party games for future competitive PlayStations to even exist. Otherwise, Sony has to bow out, and Microsoft has a pseudo monopoly, which harms US consumers and the games industry.
Activision is a huge chunk of the oxygen Sony's Playstation needs to breathe, just like Zenimax was.
This is tricky in court because Microsoft can wave their hands and point to "competing" platforms like iOS, Nintendo, Steam and such. Microsoft's argument sounds very convincing to a judge who has never touched an Xbox controller.
