Their claim should have been that it's not what consumers are willing to pay extra for. And it did add cost to the original hardware. Those who paid for it, already have it.
The only reason they're holding back on PS2 game BC is each game would require native PS3 code optimization to get them to run on PS3s without the PS2 GPU, which is something they just aren't willing to do for free considering the size of the PS2 back catalog.
The only way we'll see non-HD collection PS2 titles on current PS3s is if/when they start selling them on the PSN Store.
