You're the one mixing your terminology, bud.

SKU is a shipping and retail thing. It's a unique identifier for products shipped. It has nothing to do with software versions and so forth.

Witcher 3 has a seperate entry for PS5 because they also ship a separate PS5 version.

Thing is, if I put the PS4 version of the game into the drive, and download the updates, the game I have is exactly the same as the PS5 physical. And no, it's not downloading the entire game again.

It is a patch. Not a completely different version of the game.
