But at least there would have been a little more income and they wouldn't have to rely solely on the investors.

I guess it has something to do with poor sales of Jolla phone. If it would have sold like butter, there would have been better incentives to develop TOH-concept further, but with such small user base it wouldn't be that wise to spend much effort and resources on something that would be bought by small portion of that small user base. Some interesting feat might have increased the sales, but I doubt it would have had that big impact, considering that there were numerous other issues to fix in the whole platform. It has been obvious for long time that they need partners adopting Sailfish OS, maybe they should have been more open to different implementations for different kind of devices even at the risk of fragmentation.
