I appreciate the correction.

What on earth does "market's interest" mean? But yes, the FOSS community has absolutely furthered the content and capability of Maemo devices.
It means creating something sellable.

The FOSS community isn't responsible for vendors' marketing.
That is correct. But the FOSS community has a very big impact on the NIT series. At the very least, it has more access/control/contrib over the project compared to other closed/proprietary platforms.
