To build a world-class OS and applications you need good engineers. The pool of good engineers is very very small, you would know this if you if you gave interviews. 1 out of 30-50 interviews yield 'must hires'.

The chances of hiring good engineers is simply reduced with microsoft,google,facebook taking them all.

Of course you can find very good engineers outside of those 3 companies but I can guess you that NOKIA is not on their short list unless they are in Finland.

Nokia has not showed any consistent software engineering strength because they cannot attract enough talent who can 'product' fully working apps (not just dinky demos).
.. name 5 world class Nokia apps..
