Uh, what? You’re either extremely confused as to what is going on, or are being deliberately ignorant about it in order to dismiss it.

Epic has an account system where your content can carry over to other platforms. If you’ve ever logged onto a PS4, you cant carry that content to Xbone or Switch. You can have purchased 100% of your content on PC, only logged onto PS4 once to show off cosmetics to a friend, and now you’re locked out if you want to use your account on Fortnite for the other consoles. Sony holding accounts hostage like that doesn’t really have any precedence or comparable situation that I know of.

Again, the closest thing to it is the game discs t. Like you said, there's no precedent so I'm not sure why people would expect to be able to seamlessly transfer cross platform. The closest thing to it would all point not being able to 

Except you can already seamlessly transfer cross platform. 

In your weird disc analogy you’re talking about a situation where you can apparently stick your Xbone Fortnite disc into a switch and it works flawlessly.
