It's a (pretty big) problem all right, but it has no bearing on the OP's dilemma (whether Ovi will support native apps or not).

Releasing a phone without a store, et al was okay perhaps 2-3 years ago. Not now.
Keep in mind two things.
a) the two biggest stores went live 18 and 15 months (!) ago.
b) Maemo 5 is not well suited for a store style distribution, it has no DRM, all in all, it will only get a store because of all the whining of minds soaked in the less than two year old store-hype. In reality, it's simply not made for such an ecosystem (and no, that's not a 'fail'). Maemo 6 will be better (at least much as 'me too' can be interpreted as better) at this, albeit it's yet unclear at what cost (i.e. how difficult it will be to switch between locked and Free mode).
