Well that's why so many people were keen for the PS3 supporting Linux way back when, but they had to remove it because people such as the US military were using them for cheap computing clusters.
You can either have an open system that lets you do what you want, or a cheap system subsidised by the company selling it, but you can't have both unfortunately.
