Why don't they just develop their own OS based around the hardware? They started the PS4 in 2007 wasn't it?

I guess it is a similar case to the smartphones right now.  They use android because it is free and good; and there are already plenty of tools for it.  So this OS is free; for what they are doing is good; and as it has more time in the developer space, it has more tools for it.

I really dont know if the OS is good or not, since I have only used in my life Windows, MacOS, and tried android in some phone.

MacOSX is based on freeBSD, if recall correctly.
