You're right, you don't understand this.

These games aren't running through hardware or software emulation, they were coded for the PS3. If you want to play them on PS4, they would have to be ported.

I can understand the fact that the games bought for PS3 won't work for PS4. But the games that will run through Gaikai's remote play (which can have any PS game playable) will work, because the actual gave is being run on a remote server. So why can't Sony just let people who have bought a digital PS3 game on their PSN account have a copy of the game on their streaming service?

What they actually said was that they haven't made any decisions.  The OP failed to mention that.

"No," Yoshida said, when asked about any current-gen PSN game being natively supported on the PS4. "Unless, somehow, some games work on emulation. The easiest thing technically would be to make PS1 games work on PS4 through emulation. But we aren't talking about our emulation plans as yet. There are two ways: emulation or cloud service. But native support, no, sorry. We could do so if we choose to. We know who purchased what as a record. But we are working on service plans, and we haven't decided."  http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/21/psn-transfers-ps4/
