I think a lot of people are failing to realise that there is more behind the cause of the OtherOS removal besides the hacking. Sure that helped, but did that mean the feature was unfixable? Of course not! A reasonable software layer between the OtherOS system and the native hardware could have prevented further hacking attempts.
So why aren't they doing it? It's not worth the money to them. The cost that it takes to keep their hypervisor drivers updated as well as maintaining a virtual layer are not being recovered anywhere. The security breach was just the excuse Sony needed to bail out of a costly department of the PlayStation 3.
