This seems likely. Early iPhones and iPod Touches were much more attractive targets for jailbreaking, given their more generalized nature, better hardware, and more capable native OS — the range of possibilities was far more great.
It's also not practical to upgrade the storage in flash-based iPods, which reduces the utility of something like Rockbox. The stock OS is perfectly serviceable for the size of library one would be carrying around on a Nano.

- kitsunesoba 4y agoSure, but the size/quality difference between AAC and OGG isn’t huge enough for most to want to use OGG instead, tracker music formats are niche, and anybody who wants FLAC probably wants one of the hard drive based iPods so they have the amount of space required to store even a small lossless library.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoTrue. However, rockbox let you play doom on ipod nano 1st gen. :)
