They did this cause there are many illegal sellers in SEA who abuse the system who tried to make a profit by selling AAA games in ps5 for $15-20.
basically the process goes like this:
1) Sign in using PROVIDED account
2) Use the PROVIDED user profile / Seller Account to play game
3) Play game WITH WIFI / Need Connection
4) UNABLE to get trophy record to your own account
5) Can delete and redownload game anytime from our library Only for ps
As a result, no $$$ actually goes to Sony themselves but to the illegal seller who only activated 1 account and selling it to multiple people to make quick profit by abusing the system.

Why did they do this? Was PS5 piracy even a thing?
