Can you not make a phone which satisfies mainstream users and hackers alike?

Imagine an N9/Jolla complete with polished/complete core UI, an appstore with loads of native apps, an enthused base of Qt/QML developers, and a security/sandbox model done right. Now make a keyboard version of the same hardware, where the system UI all goes landscape and you don't feel like a 2nd-class citizen (release very similar HWKB and Touch models side-by-side every hardware iteration). Make sure the security system can give you full access when you have dev mode installed. Make sure there's an X server and an overly-complicated terminal app. Done?
