Obviously it's worth something, just not much. It's certainly not worth using obsolete hardware for pretty much all users, and the vast majority of developers.

We all draw a line somewhere, most of us just tend to draw it at what works best for us with the most reasonable tradeoffs. If an RMS-style "free device" is what works best for you, more power to you. It's not for most, and the tradeoffs this device makes so that it can exist make that abundantly clear.

It should be fairly clear right from the start. And they don't plan to manufacture millions of them, so they know what they are doing. Obviously there are still people, even if they are few, who want to have a general computing device in their pocket, that can run Python, compile stuff with gcc, and which is programmable, not like all other phones out there.
