Every platform that has tried that for the last decade has failed - Palm, Firefox, RIM, and Microsoft have all had development platforms “based on web technologies”.

This was a bit tongue-in-cheek -- I was referencing FirefoxOS, and insinuating that mozilla should have stuck to their guns (and maybe changed their batshit market strategy of racing other android vendors to the bottom-most market segment) and kept FirefoxOS in their portfolio.

If a phone OS isn't a strategic bet, I don't know what is. All the people spending money on the librem would have happily bought FFOS phones, if they made proper high spec ones (I still have one of the highest spec FFOS phones ever made and it wasn't that impressive).
