I'd argue the same thinking could have been applied--perhaps moreso--to Palm/HP's webOS, which was thrusting in the same direction as mid-range tablet OS with the Touchpad, and into a desktop-capable OS (demonstrated in early state) before its EOL. Plenty of parallels between the two OSes, down to some of the personnel who bailed to Firefox OS from HP.

When I first heard about Firefox OS my first reaction was one of frustration, as I believe at the time WebOS had just been open sourced. It seemed like a giant duplication of effort towards similar aims.
