Likely it is because they assigned a value to it that when compared to the revenue stream is a net loss.
Not all ps3 gamers use online. I havent used onpine in like half a year. And even then, only to buy games.
Psn plus is a very good solution to the system. You get free games, it's cheap, and they can still sell a system as having free internet.
Its a very win win solution.
