Supposedly it was for 'player safety' which is a load of crap since steam already handles that.
Yeah the reality was probably that someone thought it would be a good way to boost some numbers somewhere to justify their position or get a bonus for 'increasing the user count' or other nonsense.
I have a theory it's part of the same effort that's resulting in some Sony-published games getting PlayStation trophy support on PC. They probably want to eventually accomplish something similar to what Microsoft did with cross-platform services between the Microsoft store and Xbox.
That would be a smart move. And it would be in line with typical Corpo thought - Bury a good idea under a bunch of bad ones lol.
