That’s strange, I have a friend with no internet and he used his ps4 for half a decade before ever connecting it to the network.

My guess would be that it shipped from the factory with a "correct enough" time for the system to not care.
Had it shipped with a dead CMOS battery, the date would have been reset to 1970 or something, then it would complain.
