If they'd said "we do not comment on rumours", that would be one thing (although it would have failed to have any impact on the situation - the backlash wouldn't be addressed at all, it just wouldn't make things any worse). What they said, though, was "we have not made any announcements about our product roadmap, and have no further comment on this matter". That isn't the same thing.
Paraphrasing, what they said was "we're not ready to announce details just yet". But rejection of something is not a feature announcement. And like I said, all they had to do was reject the IDEA of an always-online restricted console, not the specific idea that their own console would have always-online restrictions.
