It probably simplifies several parts of the development and release workflow immensely to stagger the releases like this, and since it has never affected the sales of the PC version negatively then why not do it I guess

I can only speak for myself, but I completely passed on GTA5 because they took so damn long to bring it to pc, then once it was, the only "sale" they would have on it was when it was bundled with those shark cards.

They did give it away on Epic at one point. But in spite of having such amazing handcrafted worlds I can't believe how shitty their business practices are.
