I can just say from how I grew up as someone who played on PC and consoles up to around a decade ago, that I always thought those were scams, especially since a lot of the traffic isnt even hosted by the console manufacturer, but is simple P2P and at most they might just use an API or something similar for that.
On mobile and PC its free and apparently companies dont go under.
I never understood why manufacturers due it other than mostly "greed" or at least an additional revenue stream without actually doing much. And it seems its working.
