To be fair there is a lot of speculation that the delisting is actually entirely from steam's side not sony or arrowhead. Nothing is confirmed of course but the thought is that steam is throwing the kill switch on selling in these countries right now because obviously the publisher hadn't thought this out and just straight up doesn't have a plan for it. Valve may be doing this to put extra pressure on the situation drying up sales a little prematurely and more importantly to protect Valve from legal repercussions. Again this is entirely speculation but it makes a lot of sense, Arrowhead and Sony have been pretty quiet.

~~The cm's have literally said it's Sony. Why would there be speculation that it's steam?~~

Edit: I misunderstood. I meant that the whole initiative was from Sony. Kroxx was talking about the delisting in specific. I don't have any info on that.

Did they say it is specifically Sony that delisted it in those countries? Where did they say that?

A community manager in HD2 Discord has said that the mandatory account linking is a Sony directive.

It appears that Steam had delisted the game in countries that PSN is not available in.
