No, the exact same thing that is described in that forum link is also on PSN. You can have a primary console on PSN that allows other account to play the game on that console. Home Sharing is not the equivelent of Shareplay. Shareplay let's people use the games on your console over the internet, equally it also allows playing splitscreen games over the internet.

And the PSN equivelent of Play Anywhere would be cross-buy, cross-save and cross-play, though this will be a dead feature soon enough.

So streaming then... 

Also, if I recall correctly, this does allow a second PS console to have access to the same games as the first one. In other words, one account buys the games and as long as the account doesn't declare their newer system their home, the games from that account stay on both consoles... 

It sort of works like that... 

Streaming but from one users console to the second, they can simply be sat watching your live stream then be given control from their own controller.

Also, for the record, if you are somewhere else sucxh as at a relative/friends house and they have a PS4, you can add a new user and login with youre own details, and as long as you stay logged into your account you'll have access to your own games, cloud saves etc, without ever activating the second system to your account. When you're done you either delete the account off the second console or simply set it not to save your password so if you go there again you simply re-enter it and have access to all your stuff again.
