Because even if they can't stop ddos, it's most definitely their fault we can't play ffxiv even though it doesn't need PSN.
FFXIV on PS3/4 has PSN authentication. When you install FFXIV on PS3/4 you get a FFXIV license linked to your PSN account it is viewable under services. When you log in to play FFXIV on PS3/4 it does a check with PSN to make sure you have a FFXIV license on your PSN account. They don't want people playing on PS3/4 that have not a license, because someone could just borrow a ps4/3 disc then install it and play with their pc account otherwise and never bought the game on PS. Once you are logged in you don't need any more interaction with PSN though.
