Otger than needing to sign into an additional account, why does everyone hate this so much?

It's completely unnecessary
Sony has a long history of leaking personal information
Sony is most certainly selling your information for profit
Sony's servers suck ass. I literally can't even make an account. It gives me some kind of generic error.
Sony stopped making the game available in countries where they don't allow PSN accounts. Makes you wonder what's so valuable about account linking that they would pass up sales in all of those countries.

Halo makes me sign into a Microsoft account, but i havent seen nearly the amount of hate for that.

That's because it's old. Everyone complained about it when it came out with this requirement as well. The frogs have all been boiled on that front.

Not just leaking data, outright installing rootkits.
