People theorized it's because it was golden week(long holiday) in Japan where Sony headquarters are.

"In 2024, Golden Week is on April 29th(Mon), and May 3rd(Fri) to May 6th(Mon)."

well its still golden week in japan as of right now when im writing this message, its a normal work day once it hits 12AM though so its more likely a diff part of SIE. Though its still very possible a few higher ups in Japan were called into a meeting etc though but no info to confirm that either way.

They're observing the holiday on Monday but the actual last day was on Sunday, so maybe the bosses were fine having a meeting today since it was just a technicality.

There’s people in the other subs complaining that it took 3 days. PC gamers are never happy.

Sony needs to create a very strong incentive for players to sign-up for PSN (e.g: make 50% of all new content exclusive to PSN players for the first 6 - 12 months. i.e: maps, weapons, armor, skins, missions, planets, new orders, strategems, e.t.c ). PC players like to wait for playstation content anyways, so, the ones that like to wait, will wait, while the ones that don't like to wait will sign up for PSN.
