While all of that - and the rest of your post that I did not quote for brevity - is 100% true, I will play a devil's advocate and point out that there are a million more legacy Linux applications than the handful of those specifically for SFOS. The beauty of N900 was that I could take just about any old source and build it and it would run out of the box. Not so on SFOS, it needs to be ported first to the brave new world of QML.

So I see their point. It makes a lot of sense if a company calling itself "Purism" focuses on a system that is as "pure" as possible.
