It's not just freedom to develop a certain game, but about the process/validation, etc. Nintendo is super strict and there are a lot of barriers that MS/Sony do not pose to the same extent. I am not going to search for links but many developers have publicly stated working with Nintendo was terrible and some of them would never do it again. Let's not even discuss certain changes made to games in NES/SNES era to make them less gory / less mature to appeal to younger audiences. Mortal Kombat on SNES was pretty much a fail for this reason alone compared to the Genesis version.
