And with that, a lot of other things would change.
Agreed but with closed APIs and by banning users for using alternative apps you'll need the Zuckerbergs of this business to support Sailfish - whatsapp is even pulling the support for BB10 - that's why Jolla implemented Android support - and it's working - and the users who don't care about the OS won't mind using android apps ;-)

If you want them you need a few carriers on board to promote de devices to the masses - I would still prefer the niche and a small community ;-)
