Apologies. I went too far. Can I blame sleep deprivation from having a 5 day-old baby (girl)?

Nokia don't have a responsibility to aim for popularity. They have a responsibility to aim for profit. Profit can also be achieved by dominating niche markets, not only by catering the masses and aiming for popularity. (Actually, at least in my business, it's much easier to be profitable in niche markets than it is in the mass market.)
Nokia aren't a low-volume, niche market provider, though. (Most) Maemo developers want as many users as possible, to get more recognition. (Most) Maemo users want more devices to sell to get more developers.
