Well, it is a community project and product. Remember: Nokia was a market leader back when the N900 came out, and they had developed Maemo for years with the 770 (2005), N800 and N810. The appropriate point of comparison IMO would be the OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner, and while that was fun the PinePhone is already doing a lot better. BTW, if you miss Maemo, try Maemo Leste (https://leste.maemo.org https://leste.maemo.org, if you want to get a glimpse before trying see https://linmob.net/videos/#maemo-leste https://linmob.net/videos/#maemo-leste).
