For instance, I don't have a 4k TV, so I would only need to purchase 3060ti to get a card that's future-proofed for the next 5-8 years of 1080p, 60fps gaming, with ray-tracing, etc., That card will probably run me $700-$800 after tax, but I can sell by current card for $200-$300.
There isn't anything "wrong" with what Sony is doing. It just seems like a missed opportunity to add to their subscriber base, because currently there's no reason why I would choose PS Plus over Game Pass, or even as a supplement to Game Pass for the Sony exclusives. And I'm not about to spend the money on a PS5 just to play those exclusives.
I don't care as much about the day-one access as others do, but not being able to download games is a deal-breaker.

I think you might be missing the point of the
"PS5 vs. Switch vs. XBOXSX Thunderdome" though
Gamepass probably is better for a PC only gamer...Playstations services are certainly geared towards people that own Playstation consoles I won't argue that.
If we are comparing both services for console owners (which was the original conversation) they are certainly not redundant because Playstation tier two and three when have hundreds of different games not found on gamepass.
Also, even if gamepass was "better" its pretty irrelevant to someone that only likes/owns playstation consoles. For them its totally worth it if there are games they are wanting to play.
For someone with both like me its MOAR games for a reasonable price. My only concern is its becomes like free mobile games and we get the base games on our services and are then nickel and dimed for DLC, upgrades, loot boxes, ect.
