This isn’t something they tried to sneak past people, they were upfront about the issues and said there would be a grace period before they implemented the pairing originally planned at launch.

Edit for source jan it was part of steams requirements

So they sold it to people they knew couldn't comply with the TOS, then started enforcing the TOS four months later.

They know where their customers live. They know customers ignore system requirements if the game works.

Steams the one selling it, not Sony. And the restrictions were active for about a week.

You seem to missing quite a few extremely important details.
