You're not missing anything, it's just a way for Sony guys to excuse the fact that Sony is allowing DRM on their console.

I mean, look at the OP. It is essentially a collection of non-answers and loaded responses that essentially spell out a system where if publishers want to limit your ability to loan/rent games, limit your ability to buy/sell/play used games, and mandate a connection to the Internet, Sony is allowing them to do so. MS simply took it a step further and made it a standard policy on the console.

Best to just wait for E3 or closer to launch for Sony and publishers to fully spill the beans. But it's clear the only people with their "heads in the sand" here are the people shouting about how different this is than Xbone or how it's "just like PS3". It's not. The bottom line is a publisher can do everything they can do on Xbone on the PS4 as well. Sony is allowing it. So it will just be a matter of whether or not the publishers do it.

Ahhhh yes, the biggest offender of them all. Yes, lets look at the OP and all those non answers... Of them confirm multiple times internet is not a requirement and used games can be played... Yes... keep piling that sand on your head buddy.

Yes, publishers can limit the ability of loaning or renting games... with online registrations.... BUT WAIT... That requires an internet connection that Sony confirmed is not required.
