What could have been avoided ? I'm not sure how by letting user install linux, they prevent cheating and piracy ?

If I remember correctly. The system got broken into trivially. There was supposed to be some random value. But for some reason it was always the same value. 7 or something.

Nobody tried to hack it, everyone assumed it was impossible. But when they removed Linux, then people tried, and it was broken very quickly.
