How did Elop set it up to fail when it was put in place years ago and failed before he even got to Nokia?

You might want to ponder deeply the first sentence of yours that I quoted.

I don't need to ponder anything deeply. I worked for Nokia, I launched and supported Maemo devices, and I know very well what I'm talking about. You're making assumptions about how that money was spent that are off the actual mark. Hint: it didn't go where it was really needed.

When I say Elop set MeeGo up to fail, I'm specifically referring to what transpired after he came on board, of course.
