Open standard is all fine n dandy on commoditized hardware where the components are already plentiful in the market; but when it comes time for a brand new platform trying to muster marketing muscle to puncture a brand new market (a la MeeGo), then it's a case of "hey it's my marketing dollar, i should be getting the sales off them".

It's similar reasons to why maemo's (trademark n all) is tied up to Nokia, so their marketing dollars don't fuel the growth of chinese maemo knockoffs.
