Sony is not short of software production, "Sony Creative Software" makes a few software products most people here would have heard of. Not to mention SCE, they've made quite a bit of software and no-doubt have some UI engineers.

Most Smart TV platforms are developed by outside companies anyway. Check out Beesmart, Yahoo Connected TV, Mediaroom, Wyplay, and dozens of others. It might even surprise you that Belkin and Dlink don't design or manufacture their own hardware or software.

"Sony Vegas? ACID? Sound Forge?" They bought every single one of those, from Vegas and from Sonic Foundry, Sony was not responsible for their design or creation. The UIs were AFAIK fully in place before Sony ever owned them, though I am sure some changes have been made.
