Idk if that’s the actual justification behind it, but IIRC, not showing other platforms logos is just a technical requirement.
No, I played when that happened.
They launched it with icons for nintendo switch, xbox, PC and playstation.
Within a week they had to hotfix to the generic icons for stated reason because “Sony was worried about the meme potential of an xbox player beating a PS player in PVP.” That was stated as the reason in one of their weekly livestreams.
Legal requirement, not technical. Trademark law.
Obviously it’s a legal requirement but I’m 99% sure it was also on the TRC. Like, even if you were to obtain the proper license to these symbols from Microsoft, Sony wouldn’t allow you to use them on their systems.
IIRC Xbox were way less anal about this too.
