From the techpowerup review:
"Our real-life testing suite goes beyond synthetics and runs the actual applications at 80% disk full, which is a more realistic scenario than a completely empty drive running a synthetic test. Real-life benchmarks are much harder to optimize for, too. Here, the Rocket Q4 shows much weaker numbers that are surprisingly low. When averaged over all our tests, the Q4 matches PCIe 3.0 mid-range drives like the Kingston A2000 and Samsung 970 EVO. High-end Gen 3 drives like the ADATA SX8200 Pro, Kingston KC2000, HP EX950, and Hynix Gold P31 are between 6 and 9% faster—not that much, but still significant."
Considering most systems only have a single gen4 NVMe slot, it might be better to get a similar price and quality gen3 drive rather than this, and save that gen4 slot for a higher quality and speed option

Everyone has been brainwashed to eat these high price because xyz reasons. It's easier and cheaper to print ssd NAND memory than make a hard drive yet you don't see those staying stationary at 1-2TB for the past 4 years.

This one is much slower, and the heatsink is huge.
It should work fine if you just want an internal SSD, and even an external SATA SSD for PS4 games is not all that much slower in real world performance.
The drive linked above is in the top 4 for PS5's, off by <1s in most load tests, external SSD would take 5-10s longer on a 30s intro load. (980 Pro, WD 850 and Firecuda are the other 3). There may be more drives in this class now, last month I watched a bunch of tests done.

If it's too expensive, don't buy it. If enough people think it's too expensive and don't buy it, the prices will go down. If people are buying it all at the current prices, the prices will go up.
It's that simple. No "brainwashing" involved.
For example https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E1681...0+ed
MSI MPG Z690 EDGE WIFI DDR4
Has 4 M.2 slots, all of them are 4x PCIE Gen4. The first slot is connected directly to the CPU, the other 3 go through the chipset. The chipset itself is connected to the CPU via DMI Gen4 with 8x lanes.
Gen4 so it will work in a PS5
4700 read speed < 5500 Sony recommended
In real life, you probably won't notice any difference, especially with PS4 games.
There are many examples of people on Reddit who got "slow" gen4 SSDs working in their PS5
Yes, as long as it's a Gen4 NVME it'll still work (although the PS5 drive benchmark screen will warn you that you aren't meeting the read speed spec). Gen 3 drives are entirely blocked from getting past the format screen.
However, it is entirely possible that some future game developer might actually require that full read speed, so dipping below 5500MB/s is definitely a YMMV.

Lots of people screaming FUD that its below speed and Sony will lock it. No way.
The work load you send at a gaming drive is nothing. It won't be 1 or 2 seconds slower, it will be a few nano seconds slower. Where these types of drive don't do well is huge file copies, which are not what you do with gaming systems like the PS5.

There's the 750 that is TLC for a little more at $110.

So $94 for this drive is not bad for PS5, but I'd prefer a faster drive for my PC.

Ultimately I'd probably go with this just because those incremental speed increases by drives that are ps5 "certified" tend to command a premium over a normal gen4 drive like this. IMO of course
