My answer is largely off-topic, please forgive me. It's just to answer you, but let me be clear that this is not a complaint about whether the Neo900 can or cannot run Android stuff!

I don't like Android either (and let me please avoid talking about iOS ). I am almost a hater, to be honest. I have had a N900, a N9 and now a Jolla, but I have tried Android. I always thought I could survive without anything running on Android, and I still think so.

However, now that I have tried Alien Dalvik on Sailfish OS, I am forced to admit that, even if this is not mandatory, sometimes, it's better to have an application developped for Android than no applications at all. I am clearly on the side of those who will develop native applications, and they have done a great job on the TMO-friendly OSes (particularly Maemo 5, I'd say the number of applications is still greater for this OS than for its successors, and they tend to be more advanced, maybe because the OS is more open?), but there are applications that will just never be ported. It's a shame. Accepting that fact by running the Android versions sounds like a surrender, it's true, but sometimes you have to think about what you want from an application: encourage people who would perhaps port it someday (but most probably never because the application is for a niche), or just use it in its Android version because you actually need it, not just hope using it someday.

None of the applications I have in mind are life or death questions, but there are instances that I know will never be ported to something else than Android and iOS. For instance, I have one application that I need for calibrating a motorized tripod mount on Polaris, when I do some skywatching/astrophotography. I just can't calibrate the tripod head without the Android (or iOS) application. I'd survive, but I'd just have to drop that hobby, so I prefer running the Android application (which is by the way quite simple and used only punctually, so I don't really mind the Androidness of it).

I also have a PNJCam, which is a GoPro-like camera. There's an application for communicating with it, set up parameters, transfer video files, and even have live preview. I don't think the manufacturer will ever bother porting the application to any other OS than Android and iOS. That's a shame. I have the camera, and it works on its own too, but it would be a shame too to just pass on half its features.

I also have two professional applications that only exist for Android (and one of them for iOS too). I know for sure the guys who developped them will never port them. They probably don't know Maemo 5 or its successors anyway. But the problem is I need these applications, and if I can have them on my primary phone, well that's way easier.

Buying a cheaper device would of course work (though it has to be a recent enough Android version, as we now that only latest Android phones will be supported by latest OS versions, which is by the way a really unbelievable marketing strategy). But the point is that I prefer having only one device, and even if my prime use is not for Android applications, it would be a significant plus if the same phone could run those applications. This is what I discovered with the Jolla, though I thought until that point that Android support was a gadget because "Maemo 5 and Meego already had everything I needed". I would not buy a second phone just for Android apps, but if I can run them on my primary phone, that's a significant plus. And it won't keep me from prefering native apps.
