A more rational organisation makes sense, but as others said, top tier should offer more than what has been leaked.
Anyhow, a single service platform with different levels makes the gamers life simpler and allows to make them nicer offers, for example users could receive some free weeks of higher level services after they bought a given amount of products and/or services, this is just one of the things that become easier if the service platform is unified.
Then there is a big benefit for Sony, marketing costs drop and their effectiveness rises. This can be more beneficial than the savings on services operating costs.

It combines the features and price of PS+ and PSNow, plus adding a PS1, PSP games plus expect more PS2 games and the trial. What else exactly was you expecting that isn't day and date of all their 1st party titles? And it is also sensibly cheaper than competitor.

Suddenly I realise I misunderstood your first post and that top tier just had PS3. Maybe, though, I'd put some legacy stuff in tier 2 too, so tier 3 should have some more just to keep the difference as large. But not too much more, though, as I fear trying to compete with Game Pass with a similar offer could end up damaging the market turning too many gamers into bulimic consumers of cheap, short and abundant games.
