People whining about the more powerful console owners having an unfair advantage probably.
It's less about power and more about input, isn't it? In shooters for example mobile players are generally at a disadvantage while PC players are at an advantage (with consoles in the middle). Cross-play is great for several reasons but I think it's important to have weighted matchmaking that keeps you with other players from your platform unless that isn't possible - either because of low player numbers or because you're explicitly trying to play with a cross-play party, in which case you probably should be matched with others in the same situation.
There's also the problem of cheating being more prevalent on PC, so opening up to cross-play can expose console players to a higher level of cheating.
(Regardless I don't think those complaints are what have been holding cross-play back, and I am pro cross-play on balance)
