This isn't even necessarily true. I lived in PA for a while and during primaries they can "temporarily" enroll independant voters into a party. They then unenroll you once voting is over, it's to prevent you from being able to vote in both primaries. You do not "have" to be registered with a party year round to vote in a primary in PA. They'll switch you over day of and switch you back after.

Independent voters can register for one party and then denounce their party after, but there's no automated process I'm aware of. I've lived in PA my whole life, and voted since the 90s.
