While I wouldn't trust the source in this case, the very unusual CPU scaling and the very high CPU usage in general for this game could be explained by this.

The game even benefits from Threadripper, scaling beyond 8 cores, which is very unusual for games. And as it also runs on consoles with much, much less CPU power, I would suspect it is doing something very inefficient on PCs.

Copy protection. PS4 and Xbox One are both AMD x64 so you can reuse loads of code, which means that TF is indeed correct in blaming DRM.
