Get bent, Sony. Yeah, I'm fairly confident you can do it to, since apparently it's so easy to enable that you accidentally did it already.

"We're looking at a lot of the possibilities. You can imagine that the circumstances around that affect a lot more than just one game. I'm confident we'll get to a solution which will be understood and accepted by our gaming community, while at the same time supporting our business."

Meaning that they're trying to find a way to charge everyone even more money, without completely alienating everyone.

What they mean is, finding out how they can do it without losing money to Microsoft and Nintendo. That's all any of this is. If it was Nintendo or Microsoft on top, they wouldn't be as eager to share either. The reason Sony's been doing cross play with PC for the last couple generations is because they aren't in direct competition with it.
