Now we know the real reason why Sony doesnt want in. Its similar to the EA Access situation. Theres too much overlap with competing programs.

'Minecraft' users will need an Xbox Live login to play online on the Nintendo Switch.

The sandbox video game will soon be receiving an update which unifies it across Xbox, PC, and Switch platforms, meaning players are able to play online with anyone, regardless of which console they use.

Unfortunately for Switch users, however, this means they will need an account with Xbox's online system Xbox Live before they can access the game's online features."

So Rocket League does not require Xbox Live, but this is the reason?
Care to explain...

Also, I do not think this is unfortunate for Switch users :) It is quite normal to have a Minecraft account (which will be the default Xbox Live one) to be able to play with others on different system, you need a unified account system... No matter if it is Xbox Live or not
