Because Sony have nothing to gain, if Microsoft was leading they would be the ones stopping cross-platform.
As the market leaders Sony have a sales advantage whereby people will buy a PlayStation just so they can play with their friends who also have a PlayStation (the majority). If there is cross-platform play Sony lose that advantage, and someone with friends who all own ps4 can still buy a different console.
It's not good for consumers, but no one should fool themselves into thinking Microsoft wouldn't be doing the exact same thing in their position. Last-Gen microsoft didn't even allow cross-platform with 360 > PC afaik, while PS3 had Portal 2 / FFXIV etc.
