It looks like it's EOL. Can they not merge their changes upstream?

Not at all, most of it used some blobs that were under Sony's NDA.
Note that nowadays Sony uses FreeBSD and clang for a reason.

"EOL" would imply that it ever received any ongoing support. The impression I get is more that Sony treated this more like a game release -- once the discs went out the door, that was it.
The community was alive during around 7 years, and there were SCEE people active in the forums on Sony's payroll, like sarahe.
Someone did a port to a newer Linux base, and upstreaming is in progress: https://github.com/frno7/linux
