I think gamepass and PS+ extra/Premium is great for indies. I feel it's a great source of marketing due to word of mouth There are plenty of indies that most likely got an increase of sales due to being on gamepass. Also, I feel games like Stray and Rollerdrome launching on + gave them extra boost in sales and popularity due to launching on service.
Anyways, I feel gamers undersell the power of word of mouth because gaming can be an expensive hobby and seeing others enjoying something can influence a person to buy game.
I still question the amount of revenue Microsoft is willing to sacrifice with ABK deal because losing that COD sales revenue due to gamepass seems crazy.
