Prior to crossplay becoming available for Overwatch developer Wes Yanagi commented that 'implementing crossplay is more difficult than people realize' (via GameSpot). However, crossplay between Playstation consoles and Xbox consoles is becoming more common, and games that are part of Microsoft's Play Anywhere initiative automatically allow crossplay between Xbox and PC. There is a development cost to including crossplay and it's also not easy to implement for already available games, hence why you don't see it across the board.
