Incorrect. Sony owns the Spider-Man IP movie rights, this is not the case for video games. Marvel’s Avengers would not have been able to put him in the game if that were the case.
edit: Maybe wrong on the Marvel’s Avengers game front as I forgot he was a playstation exclusive character for the game, but Sony still does not own ALL spider-man rights, but specifically movie rights.
I’m confused why this surprises anyone. The Insomniac Spider-Man games haven’t made their way to Xbox, why would you expect this to?
… Because Sony actually owns the Spider-Man IP outright, whereas Disney owns (almost?) all other Marvel IPs.

They negotiated the exclusivity by threatening to not allow Spider-Man in the MCU after he had already appeared.
