I believe this to hold true only if your platform is actually viable, that is, created to be adaptable.
Now, the question is, is SFOS such a platform? It appears to me that this "let's keep it flexible and simple" (very common in UNIX systems overall and definitely not a bad idea) is kind of the opposite of what Mr Jobs has done with iPhone; who knew what they wanted (and needed) and focussed on it by providing for example high-level, easy to use API's for developers for basically everything.
