This is a myth that I have no idea why it's being passed around. Sony can just map steam id's to a range of PSN id's that are effectively throwaway. As an example: "Z3R0faith" steamID -> GoT1238976das76d98a7s6y7fgas7df698a7ysdf PSN ID. Slug it with the game name so you can't run into duplicates. Or don't slug it and just run the steamID through a hash... so a ban on one game will apply to every other Sony game. And just have the game represent you as that ID. Sony bans that ID and that's it. They don't need to have an actual PSN account.
There's no need to have an actual PSN account with any data. They just need to map it on their end when only a steamID is presented.
This! I don't understand this whole schtick.. as doing it on the background is probably just as easy. The problem for Sony is that this is considered PII as it is unique to a human being meaning in the EU it can only be processed for a good and explicit reason or with voluntary consent.
Now using the argument it is required in order to provide the service might work.. but then they (Sony) cannot use it for anything else without exposing them to liability of fines at a percentage or global revenue.
