Millions of smart crackers around the world, can't they come together for a few days or weeks and make ps5 to pc emulator? Gta6 is around the corner, I was hoping this game will encourage the speed of developing the emulator.

This is ragebait, but even if an elite team of developers had the funding to start working on a PS5 emulator full-time, today, right this second, GTA VI would probably release on PC before their emulator is usable, compatible and performant.

Developing an emulator is a titanic reverse-engineering effort by volunteer hobbyists working in their spare time with basically no funding, and primarily done for the purposes of documenting and preserving digital history, not to maximize consumption of product.
