I (for one) would not buy Jolla Phone if it wasn't compatible with my banking (Android) application.
Having the ability to kill commute time with all the games I buy on Humble Bundle and stocked on Google Play store helps too.

This paranoia against this thin, stripped-down Alien Dalvik layer is just silly.
If a normal user picks up a Jolla he'll might find the Silicia UI very refreshing and interesting, however he might feel disappointed after installing a lot of Android apps and exploring inconsistency, apps crashing and a hungry battery after playing an Android game for ~15 min. battery level drops at least 10%. Even after an Android app is closed it continue to use RAM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-WBODo4Eno).

Furthermore do to the focus on marketing the Jolla phone as capable of running Android apps the new user might be greatly disappointed when he's not able to install any app from Google Play with a few clicks and some of his favorite apps are not functioning probably.
