Also Microsoft failed with its Surface smartphones. For a non-complete but insightful list of KIAs on the smartphones OS battlefield we can easily account: Nokia, Microsoft, Blackberry, and others?
First of all, thanks for your insightful PoV.
- I do mind to being a beta-tester as end-users because I do not like it
- I do mind to being a beta-tester as IT geek because I see an opportunity
As you can see, the same thing for the same person can be negative or positive depending in which role s/he put her/himself.
- I do NOT care about unpopular decisions / opinions, as you can easily imagine
The main question is: are that decisions from the Jolla Oy profit point of view good for real or not in fact or can be improved? I have highlighted profit because profit is not always or necessary related to selling or producing or licensing.
- Most of the Starbuck’s profits does not came from selling coffee or drinks.
- Most of the McDonalds’ profits does not came from selling hamburgers, french-fries, etc…
- Most of the Microsoft profits does not came from selling Windows licenses.
- Most of the Google profits does not came from selling Android licenses.
- Most of the Tesla profits does not came from producing and selling cars.
More in general, those companies that need to enforce a license (= restriction) over your customers to generate the most part of their profits, usually does not appear in fortunes 500.
- Nvidia is the last $1Tn-unicorns-club entry member AND they did not enforced their licensing policy for more that 20 years and probably they will never do.
I give a point here to you, in fact writing that phrase sounds just the opposite. The bugs reports are nothing personal and nobody should feel under attack for them but this is not what upsets me. It is the attitude that hurts me and about attitude people start to fee a personal issue.
In few words: but they have more important things to care about polishing UI.
Yes, sure!
Update: part of this comment has been moved here:
Which is exactly what I am doing by now because there is no any viable way to debug and fix their OS until these three facilities are in place unless you wish to waste your time as you were an immortal highlander. 
Obviously, if - I do - these three facilities, then I do to put myself in the most independent position from Jolla Oy - not necessarily against their interests or profit opportunities - simply I do not put those “values” in any place of my working TODO list.
This also means that reached a certain point of skills / acknowledgement about mobile devices system, I will move away from SFOS as much as possible or completely because there is no reason to work for free (gratis) on a closed-source product and a no-career opportunities company. Unless you believe that I am an AI and I do not need to buy food¹. 
IMHO, it is a good reason to stop barking at me and help me instead, for what you can do.
I do not like the “following me” attitude because I am expecting from other people that they reasonable follow their own interests like “rationale economics agents” cit. Adam Smith which nowadays demonstrated to be as much obsolete as Karl Marx but for both not completely obsolete or at least not at the point for which we cannot learn anything useful from them without necessarily accept their theories in full.
Cheers, R-
note
¹ it is necessary to specify for some Italians that think “I can be leveraged because I am in need to buy food” nice try but I am the wrong person because I never had the problem of buying food and paying bills for a common life-style and I will never have such a problem also in the future with a high degree of confidence - apart catastrophes and war and in that conditions probably I will be still luckier that many others - I wrote that just to sympathize with those have to work for living and to make a neat distinction with the AIs.
