Epic bought Psyonix a few years ago and immediately started making changes like making the game an Epic store exclusive and limiting steam connectivity. Game status and time left used to be able to be seen on the steam friends list and now it only shows Rocket Leagie being played.
This limit to trading is because Epic made several shitty anticonsumer moves like hiding how many people are searching in a queue and drove off the player base. By limiting trading a player is forced to buy any cosmetic instead of trading unused copies or blueprints they don't want to other players. It's just another branch hitting the remaining player base as the game is in freefall.
Psyonix has always been shitty on their own. And they sold out to Epic; they didn't have to do that. Epic is a known quantity of terrible, but Psyonix is not innocent in any of this.
