They're offering at least some players a move to another platform, those who have a PS4. My question was about whether they'd offer the chance to move to another platform for players who don't have a PS4.

I am sure Square would be fine with doing that but it isn't completely just Square's decision
It is completely SE's decision. Sony gets a cut of the console purchases, but they have no say at all in what PC licences SE gives out. And SE should prefer to keep people playing over dropping their access altogether.

The PS3 licences are going away regardless. That removes any involvement Sony had in the account. Their PS3-FFXIV customers are either going to go away to play on a different platform, or go away to play a different game. (Besides, I'm pretty sure Sony got their cut out of the purchase price, the same as with other games. That's already been paid, so I doubt they'd care what happens with the account after that, even if they did have any say in it.)
