Oh well, maybe it is not affordable economically.
You've figured it out, with your last sentence. It's not affordable econimcally. Harmattan/Meego is going be multi-touch capacitative. The N900 is single (or rudimentary multi) with resistive. They could just slap Meego on the N900 without carrying about actual functionality but then they have even more complaints.

While I personally think it's possible, especially if you use a keyboard to take over multi-touch functions, Nokia doesn't see the (financial) return being worth the cost to officially commercially support Meego.

But instead of abandoning N900 users completly, they've said they'll provide support in getting a community version of Meego.
