If they resell all of them then the same number of people will have access to a PS5 as before, no?

Except they won’t. Instead nobody will pay the exorbitant markup, so the scalpers sit on them until it’s clear they won’t make a profit, then return them all to the reseller. So 80% of the first units will remain unused in-box for a few months.
