Not quite vinnie there is no talk of getting past security.

With mainstream development companies you would have middle ware which will work the hardware for you according to the code you write.

This is raw stuff writing the drivers and their versions of middle ware (SDK) from scratch. SO for instance you may see stuff like a link from Ps3 to PC. (all the other systems have had these in the past - usually called PSlink).
It will allow debugging from the pc.
Yes maybe the SDK could in theory make things a little easier for those looking for holes. However remember it runs on linux which is separated from GameOS (how deep that separation runs is open for question).
Looking for holes or working around security is not the point, the point is to provide a stable platform which other dev's can use.
Think libraries and modules.
