As far as I know, that's actually pretty common. It's probably due to things related to authenticating users and ownership. If a games uses a platform for authentication, there needs to be an authentication system for each platform that has multiplayer, and if there's multiplayer between different platforms, the game has to be able to work with different authentication methods at the same time. Well, actually I think it's the server that has to be able to do that, but it's still probably some extra work. I don't think it sounds like a huge amount of work, but the fact that the division isn't rare says something about the situation.
