Netflix password sharing is technically against TOS and did not enforce it until recently.

You're technically breaking the law for going past the speed limit, but when did you last have to pay a fine for it (caveat: depends on location)?

Netflix literally advertised password sharing as a feature of the service. I would argue in a court of law that would probably negate their ToS.

Just like claiming that logging into PSN as mandatory would be negated by the fact that they told people to skip it in order to play when the game launched? Since you know... their servers were having problems and disabled the check for it?

But to that point. This "mandatory login" isn't in either Sony ToS on the steam store for this game.

Sure. What I'm saying is, it's like an Oxycontin salesman convincing you it's not addictive at all.
