Which is absolutely correct.

Sony released some devices to their open devices program, but, certain features are not available without DRM keys in place.
If you keep those safe, there is a good chance all features will (can) be available.

Secondly, the drivers, or blobs, for Qualcomm bootloaders.

So, in short, yes, Iam sure that is correct. By only releasing/selling OS, Jolla doesn’t need to pay license fees . SOny already did.
