How sick of Pi's VR hype are you?

PC only gamers will most likely be buying Vive and OR.  Better features, such as resolution,  only frame rate would be better.  (So far).

So there's very little reason to suggest they'd be buying PSVR for PC only.  

PS/PC gamers on the other hand
Will likely be having to choose between headsets.  PC probably is the better choice.  
For this group, no PC support means lost software sales for PS, as well as lost hardware sales.  

Even if they're only buying it for exclusives, those games would do better and make the picture for VR that much brighter for Sony.  
This means more exclusives down the road.  

Yeah PC only gamers would be off on their own.

I'm going off the assumption that Sony doesn't care about hardware sales, just market size. Like their comment about pricing it like a console and not a peripheral. Profit margins will be slim. If PSVR supports PC, then some PC players will buy one and buy exclusives. As you said, most PC gamers think OR/Vive are better hardware and would want to splurge. But if it doesn't support PC, then these people on the fence will have to chose one or the other. Say half of them chose OR/Vive and the other half chose console VR only. Then that console group will be buying way more than just the exclusives. In this situation Sony would sell more software.
