The game crashing consoles regularly is most certainly out of spec of any certification process. People have been reporting crashes as frequently as every half hour to every two hours.
This opens up liability to Sony, who have a high risk of many sales being converted to refunds, which both hurts their brand and is not great financially.
People can still buy the game in physical forms, but that at least absolves Sony from the sales side of things.
One suggestion elsewhere has been on Xbox where it may make sense to move the game to early access instead.
And again, regardless, the console version runs terribly right now. It should not be for sale on console hardware that can't support it, if the case is that the game requires better hardware. There's a reason minimum required specs exist on PC versions for example.
