I understand that it's a very frustrating situation, but I'd advise restraint when blaming GGG for the PlayStation fiasco. GGG wants nothing more than to unify all platforms (including MTX), but their hands are tied.
Is it fair that Xbox and PC get to dance the night away in a loving embrace? Arguably not, but a promise was made and GGG are honouring it to the best of their ability.
I want to point out that neither you, nor I, nor anyone other then Sony and GGG know exactly what went wrong. But we can guess.
It's entirely possible Sony WOULD let mtx transfer, for a cost from GGG and GGG said no. It's not just Sony saying no, this would mean that GGG didn't want to pay up, which of course hurts a portion of their players and it's something they wouldn't want to be made public.
If this is the case, then what we have here is GGG deciding they'd make less money overall by paying Sony for the mtx xfer, and they instead chose to make more money with the Sony players buying mtx again. And if so, scummy move.
I like and respect GGG, but this forum really has a problem with never wanting to even entertain the idea that GGG is now profit first and therefore might take actions we don't like.
How do you go from "no one knows..." to making up your entire argument and leaning on it?

Facts in evidence: Grinding Gear promised, to the best of its ability, to allow MTXes that COULD transfer from Path the First to do so. Not all MTXes can transfer, but they delayed the game and took a PR and financials hit to accommodate that promise.
Second fact: Sony MTXes don't cross, and PC can't cross to PayStation. This after Jonathan, earlier in the year, mentioned in a public interview that they were negotiating with the platform holders to try and fulfill their promise but that their hands might end up tied.
Third fact: Xbone players can cross MTX, but PayStation users cannot.
Conclusion: Microsoft played ball, but Sony refused to. Whether it was a flat "No" or a financial requirement too onerous for Grinding Gear to take on is irrelevant. Fault: Sony. Take your complaints to them, not Grinding Gear.

Nah your scenario was just designed to enforce your last opinion:

Also, are there companies which don't have profit as their first goal? I mean even well-fare organizations need to balance their income to be able to provide their services in the future and like to increase either the customers they can serve or the level of services.

Hi everyone,
Please keep in mind the forums are for civil, constructive discussions, and avoid personally attacking, or antagonising one another as it breaches our rules.
This post is LITERALLY trying to antagonize everyone else lol
On topic: extremely selfish OP. It wouldn't hurt me too much because...well, I have money. But don't lash out at the community just because Sony is serving you a plate of garbage and you're at the next restaurant over blaming them for it

Just logged in for the first time in months just to say if space allows my next character is going to be named UnfairMonetaryAdvantage.
Seriously, what does this phrase even mean in the context of Path of Exile? You make it sound like these MTX give character power (they don't!)
Maybe Sony meets you half-way. You get the same $ value in MTX, but its all the singing goblins. And you can't deactivate them.
to be fair, no aura effect mtx, flask mtx effect that show the visual way bigger do have advantage

The stash tab issue between PC and PS5 is a very real problem. A player should not have their inventory locked up and unusable between platforms in a game that promotes crossplay.
The error is in the underlying assumption from OP that this is all Grinding Gear's fault directly and their personal malice is to blame.
I am hopeful GGG will be able to do something to work out the stash issues with PS5/Sony, even if cosmetic MTXes don't get to apply. Though this issue has shown that stash MTXes are honestly not a great idea in the first place. Lack of gaudy ridiculous skins won't stop progress, but this WILL, and that means the MTXes are not "cosmetic only". It sucks, and hopefully it's a learning experience for Grinding Gear while they work to fix it.

Is it official that when PSN account login in a PC client, the stash tab is not useable? Who said that and where is the url?
