Well no, modding a PS3 to play 360 or Wii games is different. Those consoles still exist, and Sony doesn't have licences to play 360 games. That's unfair because by moding a PS3 to play 360 or Wii games (assuming modding it to even play 360 games is possible), will affect console sales.
If you want to play Halo or Mario Kart, you need to own the respective console.
Moding the PS3 to play old consoles, which are no longer in curculation is different. All moding a PS3 to play Sega Saturn does is save you money. Sega is not loosing money on an un-purchased console, since they no longer produce them, and neither are game sales. In fact this type of modification is legal in USA and Canada.
Either way removing BC was just unfair. the fact that Sony sued GeoHotz for restoring this feature and attemping to surpass privacy laws is even worse. The Code of Conduct sony showed was just plain pathetic.

I never read any article suggesting Geohot was trying to restore BC. Where is this idea coming from?

Sorry ignore that last sentence. However GeoHotz did restore features of the PS3, and was sued for distribution of jailbreaking methods. I believe BC was one of those features, but I'm not sure.
BC is my complaint, and it's one of the features that can be restored with a jailbreak. Just an example I can expand upon, because I'm not sure what other features were restored with GeoHotz.

I have never heard of Geoot's JB being able to restore BC. He was sued for releasing/distributing the root key the ps3 uses to authenticate software from what I hear. That is the company's IP and just cant be released at will.
It's possible someone could've figured out how to create some ps2 emulator for ps3 tx to Geohots release but what came out first was how to play games you didnt buy. I'm also not 100% sure non-BC ps3s can even read ps2 games but they can actually tell when it's a ps2 game so who knows.

They can read ps2 games and there is some emulation in them but without the extra componenets in the ps3 it won't work properly so if someone did unlock the ps2 game lock it'd be like a really horrible emulator, most games would probably be unplayable
