Originally, console and PC players were separated from each other. Crossplay could be activated in the settings if you chose to do so.
With an update...I think it was around Sep/Oct/Nov 2020, crossplay was implemented by default - from that day it was no longer possible to deactivate it.
I´ve always suspected, that the player base was already shrinking at this point so that separating console- from PC-playerswas not longer an option for EA/Respawn.

  The only time (as a console player) that I have encountered PC players is in Mixtape. In the normal BR I have never seen a PC player in my lobby.
  I think you can explicitly join a PC friend and play in PC lobbies as a console player, I have no idea why you would want to do that though.
