So this is all YOUR fault? Well go back in time to when they thought it was a good idea to allow other OS support and then it's their fault for letting idealism cloud their ability to make money. Sony loses money on game consoles, their business model is to gain that money back through game sales and make a profit over all by continued game sales over a number of years.
Presumably you have bought PS3's to use in a parallel computing cluster, thus buying x consoles and 0 games, making Sony lose x * y money and giving them x * y reasons to turn off this feature. Now you're not entirely to blame, you're exploiting a weakness in Sony's business model, but you shouldn't cry when they stop you from stealing their cake.
