The tax loophole was a perceived reason, but it was never proven to be true. The closest admission to it was Sony losing a lawsuit related to the situation and Sony admitting that something related to Yabasic was intended to skirt EU tax law, not Linux for PS2.

Fun fact, Geohot owns a company that jailbreaks cars and their adaptive cruise control systems now.
