Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead.
It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.
You seem to be mistaking my description of reality for condoning it. I was just explaining why those companies focus on those markets, I wasn’t saying anything about my personal opinion of that.
Profit-motive beats everything to these people.
