Mhm... I'm probably not reaching you because I was strongly arguing in favor of mass storage before.

My question is not so much "Why didn't you implement mass storage on the Jolla Phone?" That would be a silly question. Your phone, your cost, your priorities.

I understand you mention quite a few general technical difficulties, including problems that come from wrong handling. I also understand, though, that those difficulties never got in the way of implementing mass storage on any previous device based on Maemo/MeeGo back in the days. So I assume these difficulties were resolved in a way that made mass storage a good solution for the consumer - in spite of unresolved issues that you know of, but that never seemed to have troubled people.

My question, therefore, is: "What is the main difference between N900/N9 and earlier Nokia tablets and the Jolla Phone that made mass storage a viable option then, but kept you from implementing it now?" - I only want to understand why existing solutions to whatever problems that come with mass storage don't work any more. (At least that's the impression I get: That its too complex at this stage of the project to implement mass storage when MTP can cover at least some of its use cases.)

I'm sorry but even after re-reading all your posts, I didn't find the answer.
