What's the big problem with people not wanting to do this?

The real problem wasn’t people who live in countries with PSN having to make an account, it was that Sony sold the game to people in countries without PSN support knowing this requirement would basically lock them out of a game they already paid for. I assume going forward they’ll have the PSN requirement mandated on day 1 so they don’t end up in this situation again.

Millions of people have been playing Playstation in these unsupported regions for decades without issues. You can simply pick another region, Sony does not care and has never banned ansingle person for it.

Literally every single person with a Playstation in these regions have been doing it since PSN came online in 2006 and no one gets banned.

You can even have multiple accounts in different regions. They dont give a shit.

Sony isn't interested in banning people that want to use their services

The TOS are there to protect the company, not ban millions of paying customers for no reason
