I'll add a little context from my own experience. I have two NeTVs, one I use on occasion for a particular project, and one in case that one breaks. I spent a lot of time figuring out working with the platform.
I got the impression, not that it was abandoned, but that bunnie and whomever else involved were hardware people, not software people. It had all the hallmarks of a hardware development kit without any serious software people on the core team. Software folks without experience working on underdocumented and undersupported hardware platforms had no place to go, no paths laid out, no real documentation for making the NeTV do things with just the built-in browser or kernel, like "what fonts are available out of the box" or "what is the equivalent WebKit/Chrome versions and how do I debug errors". The hardware folks expected the software folks to also be hardware folks, and they usually aren't.
