Well, at least there was somewhat a reason for them in PW and using them made things easier - if you didn't assign people to your Combat Unit, R&D Unit or the Mess Hall team, then you suffered in game; it was harder to progress.

If it's anything like Watch_Dogs, there'll be a way to turn it off. In Watch_Dogs, your singleplayer session can be invaded at any time, unless you go offline, or if you switch a setting in the options. Hopefully, if there is the ability to raid other people's bases, they'll include the option to opt out.
