Various news outlets dug into this story following Nintendo's livestream and ended up with a rather pathetic response from Sony, a wishy-washy claim that they didn't allow cross-play in order to protect young players from "outside influences" on other gaming networks.

It's a lame excuse considering Nintendo, by far the most kid-friendly of the "big three", is on-board, and really just speaks to Sony not wanting to play ball when they're in first place by a huge margin.

It's understandable to a point from a business perspective, but still egregiously anti-consumer and rather disappointing given how well Sony has been doing lately.
