1. It comes down to terms of service. I don't want to start the whole console/PC debate that happens all the damn time on this site, but Sony's ToS allows them to remove a game from a person's library at any given time while most PC storefront's ToS doesn't. Also PC's storefronts have a much better DRM policy.

2. On PC, yes, you can still download and play a game that's offline or removed from the storefront. Second part, it's like a kinddaaaa cause you can still buy a key for the game and redeem it and own it which is still perfectly legal, but usually when games are removed or delisted, they're not allowed to be sold.

3. A lot of people like it cause you have sites like Fanatical and Humble Bundle that price games competitively to give customers the best deal on Steam/GoG games, while the PS Store is kinda like a closed ecosystem where you can't really shop around for deals unless you wait for a sale. Also Steam has tons of sales on games all the time as well.

4. Probably but I feel I'm not the best person to answer this question cause I don't know EVERYTHING with regards to Sony's store, only Steam due to me buying a majority of my Playstation games physical.
