They failed because they lacked focus and money
I didn't like the whole Android idea of getting out of the OpenDesktop space, "java first" but they were right to cut the whole thing off and simplify everything.
X doesn't belong on a phone. GTK doesn't belong neither (at least not how it's used by most apps)
Linux is great but the userspace not so much, and integrating all vendor drivers, etc is a PITA as well. Google was right to be hyperfocused on shipping a phone, and not putting the libraries or tech first
