Cramming a PS3 on the PS4 made no sense, unless you wanted a 599 dollars console vs a 399 dollars.

PS3 had a shaky launch precisely for that reason, it launched at 599. The PS4 launched at 399 (a hundred bucks cheaper than the Xbox One btw and one the reasons it got a massive lead since the beginning)

Then emulate it via software. There are open source PS3 emulators being developed right now. Why can't Sony use its billions of dollars to do it?

On the PS4 with those Jaguar cores it was simply not possible, maybe on the PS5?

A PS4 isn't fast enough to emulate a PS3.
