Slightly different then what I have in mind. The PS3 had option for users to install linux on it. The problem, if you believe sony is it caused security issues having a user installed OS. Sony was not working directly with the creators of the OS's that was going on to there system.
What I would like to see is a partnership between Nintendo and Nvidia. Nvidia in control of updates to there OS and Nintendo in charge of there but working togeather to pervent any security concerns/compatiabilty issues. Acording to Nvidia (https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2016/10/20/nintendo-switch/) they already worked with Nintendo to optimize there OS to work with there hardware, I believe if there was a desire to work togeather to achieve what am saying it would be very doable.
For users when you first logon what it would look like is a choise between to applications (nvidia or Nintendo )

Much less of an security issue than PSN... Anyway, the issue was that the optional OS made it possible to run unlicensed (=you don't need to pay royalties to Sony) games on PS3.

Fear that it could be affecting PSN profits might of been the real reason it was removed. It a reasonable guess but to my knowledge wheather you believe it or not the only official statement from sony was they removed it due to security concerns.
