It has nothing to do with whether or not the PS5 is a walled garden or their feelings on Twitter as a platform. They liked it enough to add the feature in the first place, and when it didn't make financial sense, due to some highly questionable choices by the new CEO, they discontinued it. If Musk had any business sense he would have let them keep posting for free to drive up engagement, but he's obviously made some bad decisions and dramatically tanked the value of Twitter compared with what he paid for it so I can't speak to what drives his decision making process.
You still can easily post your PS5 media to Twitter, you just have to do it yourself instead of use the built in PS5 sharing feature. Much like most PC games that function without a dedicated Twitter sharing feature.
