I will probably buy the PS5 way late, because of preferring the Xbox (thanks to the controller and the off chance that Rare makes a proper game), but your points,

? Let's look at them:
Censorship on an increasing number of games
Why would I care, I do not play any such games and what is being "censored" does not affect gameplay, which is all I care for.
Hesitant of crossplay, limited titles that support it
I do not play online
Controlling indie developers with contracts.
What is this about? I would like to know!
PSnow prices
Game streaming is the biggest turd that has ever been shat, so any streaming service that does not pay
me for using it is too expensive. E.g. Stevia, which, in contrast to PSNow also happens to have no games.
Closing multiple studios despite those studios not losing a lot of money
Well, they closed studios whose games I wouldn't have bought anyway. It's shitty, but nothing to stop me from buying a console.
Weakest streaming platform compared to competitors (Stadis etc.)
All streaming platforms are unequivocally and irredeemably shitty. Stadis, Stadia, PSNow, all absolute garbage. The only acceptable use case is to use XCloud to play the intro video of a game while it is installing. Because streaming is fine for videos, it is just utter garbage for people with no standards in interactive media.
Purposely locking the built in PS2 emulator in the PS4 behind a pay wall
I have a PS2, so why would I care.
Controlling some Japanese retail release dates in the west.
More information on that?
Removing digital codes from offline and online retailers
That's fine, give me retails versions.
Rejecting features from other companies which would be good for gamers. (EA Access etc.)
Good. Subscription services will hurt smaller studios significantly in the future.
Throwing Vita owners under the bus less than 2 years after release
That was shitty, but (1) the Vita still was a great VN machine years later (2) it is unlikly that Sony will treat PS5 similarly.
Complacency
Not an issue in itself for me as a customer.
Not helping release original games unless they take control of the IP in many cases.
How is it their obligation to help release original games without controlling the IP?
Ignoring for 5 years of constant complaints from their loyal customers to improve thumbstick durability.
Their controllers are shit anyway, so if I buy a PS5, I will buy it with a controller with a proper layout anyway.
Dismissive PSN customer service.
I do not care about online services. I play always offline.
