No one was forced to have it removed, everyone had a choice to not install the update and live with the consequences.

Everyone who chose to keep Linux is now living with an essentially bricked PS3--it can no longer play disc-based games that require the new firmware, it can't play Blu-ray movies, and it can't access the Playstation Store.

And exactly how many disc-based games require the new firmware at the moment? None

All current Blu-ray movies also still work fine.

Finally, the PlayStation Store is part of the PlayStation Network which is not necessarily entitled to the PS3 and merely an additional service.

As much as we need the Blu-Ray player.  They are both not essential to playing games, but they were additional features that people took into consideration when deciding whether or not to buy a PS3.
