Nokia isn't HTC.

HTC is a hardware company. They don't have any single software platform they want to promote. They do not care how many Android phones they sell - they only care about the total number of phones they sell. For them, it makes a lot of sense to diversify.

Nokia is a completely different story. As long as Nokia invests in developing and promoting Meego, they cannot "diversify". Selling win7 phones means selling less Meegos, which means - sabotaging their Meego effort.
