I have no desire to be an apologist for Adobe. That said, some of the new features they add to Lightroom CC depend upon service programming interfaces (SPIs) which utilize Photoshop CC internal libraries to get the job done , so the use of CC ensures that the correct versions of both LR and PS are installed and capable of being used to provide the feature.
This integration is one reason why CC subscription can be a reasonable requirement for these new features. Otherwise, they'd have to port more and more of PS into LR to support new features like this, making testing more expensive and ultimately increasing the potential risks of bugs on different versions of LR and PS. And if you are going to need both PS and LR, the cost analysis of what it takes to stay up to date between perpetual license versions and subscription favors subscription.
