Or their goals are weirder than making customers happy.

This isn't like Microsoft telling whole studios to jump through their ass and bring them a whole new market, on pain of death. Sony has reasons for pushing this shit in the first place - and they've done the math on how much that's worth to them, versus profits and goodwill on PC. Suffice it to say their don't give two shits about goodwill on PC. They'd like the money, but only if it does not threaten their grip on a completely separate platform they own and control and shave for an entire third of its revenue.
