Well, if they charge people extra without adding any meaningful effort into it, and people don't have an issue paying for the fee (which we will eventually see how this turns out), they have plenty to gain from; namely a good extra income of profits for the fee alone.

Thanks to the PS4 we've already seen how this turns out!

Well, yeah. It's extremely probable people won't care and simply pay the fee regardless.
