To me it seems that the 'payoff' for developing Maemo apps right now is perceived to be low, compared to other platforms.

What 'payoff' you ask?

- Fame (media coverage, size of userbase)
- Fortune (paying userbase)
- Glory (high quality competitors, etc)

So, only a very specific and thin sliver of the 'potential developers' pie are targeting Maemo and spending their resources on it.
