Can anybody explain this to me as to why that's a concern?
It's not a concern for me as an application developer, so long as the usual tools are available. I'd want to know about how it handles multitasking, though. I don't want any of that 'tombstoning' crap you get with Windoze Phone.

As a user, I expect it will be much less interesting than Maemo. I expect the security framework will be at least as forbidding as that in MeeGo-Harmattan. Then there is the question as to how easy it will be to install any interesting linux tools. I doubt there will even be xterm readily available.
