And in 2007 the most smartphone users expected to be able to run apps on their phone. But you are correct that the coolness was one of the driving forces for selling it and overcoming many of its shortcomings. I see no difference if it is 2007 or 2015. There will come new cool things which will help to change the smartphone world and masses will again forgive some of things that come with them.

For example if you are a employed developer that want to support SFOS you probadly don't have time playing with low level hacks.

You are correct that it rises the barrier, and it is not the only barrier. Jolla is breaking those barriers one by one. It takes time. And it remains to be seen if they have chosen the right path through the rock so that they can succeed. The story is still unfolding.
