Even with full USB OTG support a separate adapter would be required to connect USB devices with standard-A type plugs. This makes USB OTG largely useless for use cases like quickly needing to copy a file from a friend's hard drive or USB stick, unless you're always willing to carry an adapter with you.
I agree that there are some valid use cases for host mode and it surely would be nice to have for hacking, but I don't see the lack of it as a deal-breaker in this type of device.

Hm, don't know about others, but that was a non-issue for me - If I already had the space for the microB pigtail. I just put the male-to-male USB connector on the end, and then used the device with or without it depending on whether I needed to be host or not.
What type ? A smartphone or a mobile computer ? It's perfectly OK with the former but a bit of a letdown for the latter (even if the reasons are perfectly understandable)

That's what I do when I travel, so I don't need to bring a laptop. I have a couple of nice cameras. I use my N800 in host mode to copy pictures from each camera into the external SD card. I use Canola and/or Quiver to look at my pictures and show them to my traveling companions.
