I believe he ment why not ask Sony to take over the whole Linux related
software to use it as usual.
Linux on the ps3 runs on a hypervisor, it's not just a bootloader that needs to
be developed (the bootloader must be the easy part no?). This is to prevent
direct access to the PS3 which could lead to pirated games.
As Kai Staats explained (thanks!) they were very cautious with testing. I
imagine this would be one of the reasons, to prevent any error that would
"open" a door to hackers. For this reason I also don't believe they would give
control of the hypervisor to a third party.
