WEEK 2 STILL NO CROSS PROGRESSION!!

Sorry in advance for the longwindedness lol. So I originally played on PS4 and then got a new PC, got rid of PS4 and decided I would wait until cross progression became a thing. Along the way I did play here and there on PC but the constant reminder that my original stats, all my skins, all my progress was being left behind was too much to ignore so I was patient. I played a lot in year 1 and season 1.  So you can imagine how excited I was that actual cross progression was being followed through with. Told my son that we were gonna start playing Apex once my account was merged. That was almost a month ago. I am continuing to be patient. However, I see all the new seasonal stuff, events going on, and my FOMO is raging. If I were to just play on PC and make seasonal progress and a week from now my account is merged, I would obviously choose my PS account data to merge forward all that progress and potentially lose any progress I had made on my steam account as far as seasonal content. So its kind of a trick bag. Unless I am misunderstanding how this merge works. I will have to chose one of my accounts to use as primary data and would chose my PS account data. Since I haven't actually played any of this season on PS4/5 I would then have no progress once I chose that account data to use as my primary for merging. If that is the case then my options are to have fun now but have all that progress wiped, which the progress is part of the fun and draw. And then I would still be behind all that time I wasn't able to play seasonal content and event content on my merged PS/PC account. Or I wait and still lose all that time working on seasonal content etc....So basically the same choice lol or am I mistaken?
