Sony IS definitely a part of this decision. They have to approve of the free transfers. It is one of the reasons why the ps3 to ps4 transfer was temporary.
And of course Sony would care, as I said, why would they want people moving from their platform to an outside one? They wouldn't just allow that for free. They would rather people move from their console to their next console.
Sony is definitely the limiting factor here. If it wasn't, then I'm sure that ps3->pc transfer would be there.
