Surprised that they didn’t remove it earlier

At $42k per month I would have removed/disabled it immediately

Why would I need to pay that kind of money to let my users to post on your social where you’re monetizing it with ads and using the content to increase user engagement? Should be the opposite! The social network paying the game console maker in order to get preferential treatment and prominent share buttons

Because originally it was extremely cheap advertisement for your console and games?

It's not that simple. That's not fair to their innocent user base who used that as their primary login. That's why this is actually a big deal, it's technically difficult since it's so integrated, and it screws over some of their users. So giving them a fair chance to migrate off is the right thing to do.
