Jolla needs libhybris to interface the hardware because the hardware did only come with Android drivers. But this is not necessarily the universal law: someone may produce a device using hardware with native drivers available, and in such a case libhybris will not be necessary.

Yes, I have an issue with that statement too. It claims not that most Sailfish users use Android apps, which is something I would not dispute in a hurry, but that Android apps make the majority of what they use. I see no evidence supporting that claim.

You're absolutely right, I've never felt the need of doing any banking activities at all with my phone. I can't think of one single situation where payments can't be done with my Visa, or wait till I can get my hands on a computer, which never is very long.
A native bitcoin app would become handy though.
That's what I meant, yes.
You say this as if this is in any way Jolla's fault. Sure, the lack of paid applications on the Jolla store is entirely their fault, but every single one of the extremely popular Android/iOS applications is available for zero monetary costs. The only ones to blame for the lack of (official) natice applications for Facebook/Whatsapp/... are Facebook/Whatsapp/...

ZogG, please read my post again. I said clearly that I do not dispute the suggestion that most Sailfish users use Android apps. However the way you wrote your post makes a different statement, that most apps Sailfish users use are Android apps. I know that English is not your first language and the difference may be lost in translation.

Not facebook, neither whataspp are interested in success or failure of Sailfish, but Jolla should be interested in success.

It's arguable that Jolla is offering a platform wherein the next set of activities (i.e. whatever replaces Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.) may flourish. It's all about choice and honestly, even I've resigned myself that the person that's more interested in Jolla tends to be far less interested in Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.
The target they're probably shooting for doesn't exist quite yet. That doesn't guarantee success; it merely solidifies that they're trying to be a true alternative to the folks that have not bought into the aforementioned social media, communication or existing offerings.
Doesn't make it right or wrong. Just different than iOS and Android and they hope that Jolla/Sailfish is the platform of choice of these newer offerings and options.
That's been my take on Jolla. I now await for the developers to finally understand that the magic happens past the terminal and in apps that connect people and less about isolating yourself with esoteric commands that alter your phone that only you'd appreciate.
