"We have extra power left, it's cool, lets leave it there unused despite the fact that this is Sony's showcase to the world." It's a technical limitation.
No and yes.
You misrepresent what the Killzone 2 developers stated. They stated they have more than enough CPU time left to add many new SPU systems. And no you don't just decide to leave CPU time unused, but these additional systems have to be developed for the SPUs first.
If you are really a programmer you understand the amount of work involved, especially as it makes great sense to completely redesign legacy game engine code with the SPUs in mind (in effect allowing it also to perform better on all other CPUs out there, as a side effect).
