This implies Silksong was the stronger title, either in gameplay, marketing; or both. If the indie game was better, people would be playing that over Silksong. Isn't this just market forces applied to games?

That’s the point. If possible, you don’t want to release your game at the same time as a much stronger title.
I'm saying that's defeatist to your game. Have faith yours is the stronger title
You should also be mindful that there are marketing budgets you can’t outcompete.
Even if your game is better, you’ll probably make much more money if you don’t time it to launch at the same time as the new GTA
