Should you be able to directly install games to the PS5? Or have the ability to use a game store besides the PlayStation store? Honest question

Yes, and you can still buy physical disks.

I'd just like to check that you understand that when you buy a physical disk of a game sony/microsoft (for playstation/xbox respectively) still take a cut of the purchase.

Yes, game publishing is slightly different but it's still an alternative. For example, you can easily resell and transport physical disks. There is real ownership tied to the disk itself. It's still not as good as a desktop operating system in choice but as it's not a general purpose computer, that's far more understandable than iOS.
