Which we think is what Jolla's heading for, sadly, but -somewhat- understandably.

Although after watching this, it seems that real hw augmentation may still be on the agenda for the first Jolla Phone.
Tis just that Jolla won't be focusing on hw "Other Halves", they'll leave that to others.
Well, as was already reported here, CTO Mosconi said in a recent interview to Jolla Italia, talking about TOH that "In fact it will allow hardware upgrade without a need to purchase a new device."
Considering that Jolla has been quite vague about most of the specs, that's quite a bold statement, so I don't think TOH will be only good to make funky covers, but agree with what you say that they will just provide the capability and wait for 3rd parties to develop something with it.
