That is all true. In the context of the original comment, though, this does narrow down the market that can be addressed by a company running the Next/Apple playbook. It seems vastly cheaper to solve these issues than to start a new company to produce its own hardware and OS. If you did start such a company and prove there was a market, then you're making a bet that Canonical (or KDE devs) won't put you out of business.
