There are reasons but I bet none of them are due to potential risk in using opensource code.

They will most likely be due to closed license drivers for specific bits of hardware and Nokia has stated aim that Meego will move towards fully opensource effectively making your position untenable.

I suspect the closed elements will dwindle quite rapidly.
