Won’t this be a big problem? Hope it tells you what console your opponent is on.

It most likely will tell you if they opponent plays on either PC or PS4.
Now as for the other point, the risk of playing a tool assisted player or even a bot. You are overestimating how many actually do this, or even know how to do this. ON USFIV i’ve never met a player who did this, not during GFWL or on Steam.

This is pointless and goes against trying to create a single online community. Also, even PS4 users have access to things like macros via programmable sticks/cronusmax.
And not amount of tool assistance can replace fundamentals.
Why is this a problem?
Do we have ladder seasons like Warcraft 3 back in the day or Starcraft 2?
Is anyone who gets lots of points invited to Capcom Cup?
If nobody gives a shit about your online points, you shouldn’t either.
Take online as a way to learn and have fun with the game, and should online get polluted with cheater, stick to your buddies.
Cheaters only become a problem in dead games anyways.
Most people don’t cheat and the problem only becomes obvious when the playerbase shrinks to a very small size and you come across the same idiots multiple times.
Even big brother is watching you companies like Blizzard, always got a ton of cheaters in their games, so I’m not sure how spending resources on preventing something that is done anyways is any productive to the game itself.
Personally I’m happy if SFV has great netcode that works well across platforms and solid, fundamentals-based gameplay.
You can tell when someone is using such cheats. I dont see it being a problem at all.
Can you beat oni/E.Ryu boss versions on hardest? Then you can probably beat tool assisted opponents. 
We had a discussion about this somewhere else in this forum IIRC.
Anyways, the number of players who use tool assistance on PC is negligible at best, I can only recall ever facing ONE person on PC I ever suspected of it and i’m not even certain for him.
In addition, tool assistance is possible on console as well. Many sticks have programable buttons these days and there are plenty of other options. Google “toolassisted abel” you’ll find an infamous abel player who uses toolassistance without remorse when playing. If you look carefully you’ll find that there are videos for him playing on both 360 and PC. I dunno if he’s done PSN though.
