What's stopping someone from creating a new one. The devs? "Please select a username for your account" when creating your first character. After that you cannot change it, and is linked to all your characters. If you get reported, the report would include the account name = unique "John1836q83" getting banned.

This enforces band the same way as PSN linked email would do, but is all ingame and accessible to 100% of players that own the game.

If it is a simple popup that has 0 implications and is only visible when reporting, no one would care, and definitely not enough to boycott the entire game.

They obviously want to force psn account for other reasons.
