But they also added big limitations, like restricting the access towards the hardware.
More like completely preventing direct access to ALL of the hardware, and not even indirect access to some of the hardware. Linux is being run top of a virtual machine running on and hogging one of the co-processors, making the actual hardware irrelevant. You might as well be running the virtual machine on a much cheaper IBM clone and running Linux on top of that. But doing that would be stupid and pointless, not being able to get to the hardware and all; and so it is with the PS3 hardware, too.
Now if they released ROM Kernel Manuals and Hardware Manuals like was done for the A1000, and shove their virtual machine where the sun doesn't shine, that would be interesting.
