This makes me think of the ol' OS/2 downfall. OS/2 could run Windows applications; this meant no-one developed specifically for OS/2, so they never got the developer mindshare, so there were no OS/2 killer apps, so users saw no benefit to using OS/2 over Windows.

If Microsoft can sell phones that match features, speed, ram, look good, etc but can also run all the apps you want, then that's a more competitive situation than running a significant subset of apps out there (just look at their marketshare which is pathetic for a company with all their resources).
