On PC, less than 5% of my matches are P2P connections. Google Cloud Game Servers can handle high amount of traffic; it is Google for God's sake! Google & Amazon host a lot of games. The only logical reason that would make the game switch to a player-hosted match should be because you & your opponent are closer to each other than the nearest server, but that's not always the case from the matches I see on PC.

My tests show that PES 2021 connects to the opponent's IP address directly, which is an evidence that matches are "player-hosted". That evidence is gone in eFootball, and now you have absolutely no evidence to support that eFootball is still running on "player-hosted" (p2p) model.
