The thing is, it's because of the PS3 that the differences between PS3 and PS4 are subtle. It's because they couldn't just outright make PS4 superior and then just say "tough luck PS3." This is a key reason why the whole modding thing they've promised to allow people to have more control over customizing their UI hasn't been released yet. Because if they released it, PS3 wouldn't be able to handle it and it would just create a huge fracture between the community because people who are on PS3 would potentially be penalized for not being able to have certain aspects only accessible through PS4/PC.

Content is also developed with mininum requirements in mind, while they can make it look nicer or slightly increase the head count of people you can see in PS4/PC, they can't release content that would hinder PS3 players ability to play through it. So with that respect the slight differences are due to having to keep that in mind.
