Also released is the first emulator for the system in the shape of a SNES Emulator great for those 16-bit games. Finally drk||Raziel, the coder of the Dreamcast Emulator NullDC, has posted screenshots of his Dreamcast emulator working on the PS3 (albeit at a very early stage). The PS3 is building up to be the Dream Console for emulation."

Yep; pirated software competes with free software. If for example Microsoft somehow eliminated all piracy of Windows and their flagship programs, free software would see a lot of new users. Similar applies here; the pirated SDK is good enough for many people, so there's little push for a legal one.
