If they were all smart they would host their own mastodon instances so they can control their own social networks.

They are smart so they don't host any social media related. It is just so much hassle, updating, maintaining and managing the servers.

Yeah, just integrate with their own apps better honestly. I’m on PC now but when I had a PS4 pro the only easy way to get 4k screenshots so I could share them was with the Twitter integration, so back then I had a completely private Twitter account that was purely for uploading screenshots. MS has OneDrive, and Sony could absolutely have a screenshot/recording system that allows you to grab them from a pc or mobile app to share them from there

You really want Sony to develop something, host it, keep it secure, and make sure it lasts? I don't have that kind of faith in them.

They can farm it out to an existing provider like Dropbox or something.

It doesn't have to (and probably shouldn't) be proprietary, just like Twitter integration wasn't.
