I think we (geeks, open-source community,...) tend to forget that we are not representative of the market as a whole... And blame Nokia's management team as you want, but I don't think they are that naive as to not do any market studies before taking decisions.
Totally agree with you, not saying a one size fits all approach cannot work or is not financially beneficial. Financially I think it's actually better. It reduces cost and the amount of work required. In fact there are times where the number of different Linux distros annoy me even, but I understand it.

I get it, I never said it wouldn't work or that they wouldn't financially be better off with that approach so I'm not sure where the debate is. One thing I don't agree on though is the size they've chosen.
