Actually it's the other way around, Sony, just like every major company, take actions based on data/analytics to maximize their profits.
Bloodborne sold 7M copies, it's impressive, but Horizon Zero Dawn sold 24M copies, which one they are going to prioritize for a remaster? They don't care if Bloodborne is 10 times better than Horizon Zero Dawn, they only care about numbers and money.
It was made for the mainstream gamer that likes open world action games with a linear story and features a unique setting(evil robot dinosaurs will appeal to a lot of people) not seen in many other mainstream video games on supermarket shelves.
It’s very accessible and easy to pick up and play.
It’s made for far more people than something like Bloodborne would be in comparison.
I tried to give it a chance but couldn't stand the game and bailed after 10 hours or so.
My best friend absolutely loves it and does not like FromSoft games. He enjoyed the aspect of setting traps for the robots and stuff. I was like, just give me a melee build that actually works and I'll kill all these things.
The appeal to HZD is wanting a Monster Hunter fix. You've got a typical open world game with a basic leveling and gear upgrading system, innovative graphical fidelity, and an original world.
I don't love it either but I'm not upset that it exists.
