Why did they remove it in the first place?

Because Sony were sick of spending money to maintain the feature, updating the hypervisor drivers and maintaining a virtual layer to prevent hacking attempts.

The hacking attempt by Geohot was merely the excuse needed for a valid takedown of the feature, even though a fix could easily prevent it.
