Tell it to Microsoft and Sony- they're the ones who absolutely forbid allowing the command console or mods of any kind. It's not "PC players getting something special"-that room exists in all three platforms- it's your proprietary hardware manufacturers actively keeping you from getting in.
As far as giving out a key, or adding randomization- why? It's not someplace that any players on any platform are supposed to be. It's not a reward. It's an area for the testing of items; the QA in 'qasmoke' stands for Quality Assurance.
They key is there to stop the urge of people to just get to the room at level one, grab all armor, and just play the whole game with stuff you have to work for to get. Sure it dosent effect anyone but the people who would actully do that but it will kill the whole point of the game.
As for the modding Beth could realease a kit to mod the game to peoples need just like PC can mod it to there needs already. So basicly a creation kit.
The room should be open to all people and by that i mean people on xbox and ps3 dont have to take risks to mess up their stuff in order to get to where PC gets it from the second they put the game up.
