These new devices could Probably be hacked to run Sailfish, Tizen or Ubuntu.

Not sure how you work that out. I would think the majority of people have an Android or iOS phone for practicality reasons. Plus if the new Nokia devices are well designed then they'd beer possible donor devices for other OS installs.
and that market coercion only flings fuel on the fire.
I am still concerned about the security flaws android has
are too serious to even use continuously.
For anyone who crosses borders for a living Android is a risk.

Just to answer myself regarding HMD/Jolla cooperation, hmd is focusing on "cheap-feature-phone-1-month-batterylife" market as it looks. So no "need" for SFOS on theyr end for now.
Quite smart to pick up the segment where Nokia was strongest until the end, isn't it?

Indeed. OTOH, $26 seems a bit too much. You can buy cheap pay-as-you-go phones here for £9.99. Admittedly those are phone (and probably SMS) only, no features.
If I could get a cheap phone with Bluetooth (for hands-free use in the car) that could be used as a mobile hotspot, I would go for it in an instant. No other features required.

we will have to wait and see what the new venture brings. will we see a company trying to bring nokia back as a name to rival samsung and apple, pushing new tech features the way devices like the N95, N900 and N9 did or someone happy chucking out mid range reasonable devices following the pack.
if they're well built and the os or a custom image is usable with libhybris it opens up possibilites, same for any device. fremantle-gtk3 is currently sticking with matchbox but if matchbox or a future replacement supports wayland it could mean a fremantle/hildon based system.
