The HW campaign still would have required a lot of money spending on SW. Sailfish 1.x was only compatible with a small resolution mobile phone - it simply would not have run nicely on a tablet. They decided to dress up all that work as... Sailfish 2.0.

This is why it's unfair to accuse them of scamming by spending crowdfunding money on the OS. The weren't scamming - they just failed.
