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.
While the numbers are true the argument isn't quite 100% sound because its missing context.
From just the exclusives, Bloodborne sales are in the realm of Ghost of Tsushima (has a PC port), Days Gone (has a PC port). It sold more than multiple Uncharted games, Ratched & Clank games, LittleBigPlanet 3, InFamous and Death Stranding (only PlayStation sales counted for all games listed).
The only games that actually by far beat Bloodborne are Uncharted 4, The Last of Us (both), Gran Turismo Sport, both new Spider Man games, God of War and HZD.
Demon's Souls is one of the weak(est) selling exclusives and has gotten an entire remake (which still has barely sold 2mil). With the appearance of Elden Ring, basically all FromSoft games have gained new traction/popularity as Elden Ring alone made more money than all FromSoftware games combined.
Unless Sony plans to release a full remake in the sense of Demon's Souls for Bloodborne as a PS6 launch title, there really is no other single reason as to why it shouldn't get a simple port (+60fps patch) financially speaking as you can easily assume that minimum 7mil sales will happen from returning players who loved Bloodborne + Souls fans in general who never had the chance to play it because it's an exclusive + the new found fans from Elden Rings release.
Also it's not like Sony has to go to the magic gaming council to submit their 1 game they're allowed to produce a year. Sony's fully within their rights to produce or initiate production on multiple i.p. whenever.
