~~The legitimate reason is for crossplay.~~ Sony said in the announcement it was for player "protection", so they could ban people. Plus there is no doubt some data tracking going on.
But cross-platform worked just fine before this requirement? Or atleast well enough, I've been playing with a PS4 friend for the last month.
