here can someone tell me why PS3 has poor or eve some models of PS3 don't have backward compatibility

I understand that main problem is upscaling cause of HD
But lest put upscaling aside

First PS 1 compatibility Sony had no problem making PS2 compatibility
with PS 1 games no problem at least i don't know any so why the problem implant that into PS3

PS2 i can understand that PS 2 is a complex gaming system but
lets face Sony has full documentation of PS2 every part the know how everything work in it and they could make an entire team work on its compatibility for PS3
And by team i mean form 20 to 50 programmers

if PCSX2 team had that documentation and know everything about PS2 and had that many people the we would have full working emu for PC in matter of days

I know that PS1/2 are way different than PS3 and i know that Sony try to implant some parts of PS2 into PS3 but what i mean above is that they should make it compatibility by software only
but see how PCSX2 team has gotten far and there only few people working on it with very less knowledge abaut how PS2 works

So simple Question "Why"
