@Velcro_Snickers @Velcro_Snickers Which MS titles had no crossplay off option in-game in the last 3/4 years ? Infinite is the only one, and still you can have input based MM for ranked as an in-game option (which is something that BF doesn't even offer). COD and Destiny 2 are the others that come to mind with the same system than BF. Don't think it's a problem for Destiny as this is a TPS and PvP isn't the most used game mode, and for COD they face the exact same backlash than Dice.
Once again, system wide crossplay option is the easy solution if you want to force crossplay on, it's also only available on xbox and not PS (pretty sure we would see the exact same thing if PS had it). And this solution only benefits the studio who's handling servers cost by forcing people on the same servers than everyone else.
The fact that you can't find players in the US isn't a problem about player numbers. I'm in the EU, XsX is far behind PS here, and still can find games with 0 waiting time (AOW only, Portal and HZ are empty), looks like we have servers while the amount of XsX players with crossplay off is certainly fairly smaller than the US. So if you don't find any game, it's because there's no server in your region, not because there's not enough players while you would just need an handful of players to start a match with AI.
Dice had multiple solutions to make it fair : input based MM, console only crossplay option or crossplay option to turn it off in-game. They chose the worse of them all : system wide option.

@Velcro_Snickers Because EA Dice is still silent on this topic, we can only guess and assume why they removed the in-game toggle from the Beta. Maybe they found a bug during the Beta weekend and had no dev resource and time to investigate, thus just removed it? Maybe it's because of the partnership with Microsoft and a different interpretation of the Xbox Live integration, maybe because of ABC... we can only speculate.
But, we know for sure that recent games provide an in-game experience / toggle to disable cross-play. That's a hard fact! And those games integrate with the Xbox Live service, are available in the Xbox Game Pass, etc.
- @FrEaKCH82 I don't get the silence, we paid for the game and at the very least we deserve answers.
