You can. X-Box is just running a modified version of windows. Sony used to support being able to do so on the PS3. As someone else jailbreaking is a term for doing it against the companies will. So why did Sony take it away and why companies try to block us from doing so? Pirating. Being able to side-load software or a different OS makes breaking games DRM a lot easier. Breaking DRM means you can just download a copy of the cracked game and off you go. So the answer always comes back to money.
Edit to add: You can’t go out and install windows on a PS3. The operating system needs to know how to talk to the hardware. That what drivers are for. Also the CPU is not one you would find in a PC. So only certain builds of Linux were ever made to work. You used to be able to install and run windows on Macs. Untill they switched to their own chips that Microsoft doesn’t support.
