This isn't necessarily true. See, for example, how loads of countries don't officially recognise Taiwan for the sake of keeping China happy, but do maintain an unusually well-staffed "trade office" in Taipei and accept Taiwanese passports
Isn't that more like de facto recognisation then? If you're accepting passports it's implicitly assumed that you're treating it as a sovereign nation
