We'll see how they make in the long run. For example, Red Hat actually withdrew from consumer market because there were no business potential. Ubuntu on consumer side doesn't profit either.

So again, if you go android way, what's your difference between android and why we'll need one more andoird?
Btw android has more open source AFAIk and there are fully opensource android flavours
Cut off Google funding it and you have no Android. Cut off funding from Jolla and you have no Sailfish OS. Difference is that Google has many other sources of income, for Jolla Sailfish OS is the core business, so if it was completely open sourced, where would that business be? If there is no answer to that question, there's no much reason to actually demand for such thing - there has to be profit somehow or there will be nothing in the long run. But of course, if you truly believe that Android is much better choice Open Source wise, then by all means go that route - as long as it is there.
