I really don't understand what is the point with meego brand/name??? Why do people want to hold on to it???

Why can't Nokia do devices with linux kernel without all the hustle and bustle with intel and meego. Just go the way google went with the kernel and openness. Keep it a bit less open but with lots of options to customise?

I know lots of open source enthusiasts out there want to burn me in a bonfire for this opinion but it seems the development was just too slow for market situation.
