Except... he didn't really. With that logic you may as well blame Sony for building the PS3 in the first place. I don't get why people like you... when proven wrong, and you actually get knowledge in the case... still persist in keeping the same opinion.

It's just hard for some people to grasp that hacking/modding is different from pirating, and that the motivations behind one can be widely different from the other.
I've been involved in a small project to hack/mod a device, and there was certainly no way of pirating anything there. It was all for the sake of understanding it and seeing how far we could push it without the limitations built into it.

With geohotz hack there was and he distributed it, I'm guessing you didn't distribute it which is fine if you don't distribute it people don't abuse it, but he did

If you're doing something for educational/research/fun purposes, there is no problem at all with distributing it. Of course you can't distribute any copyrighted content, but instructions/materials for modding a console, why not?
Of course Sony would like you to believe otherwise. They want you to believe they have the right to restrict people's exchange of ideas that relate to their products, customer rights be damned...

Because it causes priracy and cheating, and the vast majority of the people who download it download it for those 2 reasons, there are a few that have other reasons, but if the vast majority bought guns to murder someone with the country probably wouldn't sell guns and do everything in their power to keep them out of the country
