Harmattan is innovative, Swipe is innovative and using Qt is innovative, the way it is used, but it is still Linux. Bada is something completely new, better, more efficient, a multitasking smartphone OS developed based on a true RTOS for embedded devices, an OS that is used in more devices than the grand total of Linux based installations ever. That is the kind of OS ZTE and Huawei needs for most of their devices, and they already have most of it, they are using it in their dumb-phones. For the top brass, they already have Android and WP and even MeeGo if they want. I can't possibly see what use they have for WebOS, a one-off that already has died, twice.
You are definitely blind if you can't see any similarities between Bada and Android. Just think about it, they copied iPhone design and got their asses sued, and what's next? Copying a UI is something everybody can see, nobody gives a nut on what core it runs. Also, Touchwiz is a complete iOS ripoff, if they were using it for so long, why bother copying?
