I'm sure it's not just you, and people approve, but I do not. In fact, all I want is actual GNU/Linux on the mobile device, which boils down to native DM, which is usable with touchscreen and having nice API + drivers. Everything else will come. Something like that Nokia N900 with updated hardware would do just fine. (Well, almost). I don't need it to be "one environment for all devices" — in fact, I think it's pretty horrible idea, because what I need with keyboard and a couple of 24" monitors is far from what I need on 4.3" touchscreen (and neither is "Unity", btw). I just want my familiar OS with standard messaging services and daemons, that I can make do what I want by writing plain shellscript, and not some Java-framework with half-proprietary firmware on most devices, developed by some evil corporation, which makes money by advertising and spying on its users. So, well, what I need is not complicated (pretty much the opposite), but it requires "doing things right" and this is always incredibly hard. Essentially, to make proper DM it would require to hire someone, who already has written a couple of DMs which were used widely enough for mistakes made while inventing its API to become obvious. Unlikely that somebody, who isn't spying on his users would want to invest in something that big. And, furthermore, obviously there is much more people, who need Angry Birds, than people, who need transparent process interoperation.
