A bit of context: Jolla makes Sailfish OS, which is the distant offspring of the Linux based OS Nokia planned to ship with its Symbian-successor smartphone, the N9.

I think it's a wrong idea to focus so much on privacy, N9's OS (and Windows Phone too) correctly identified that users are looking for a much simpler experience than Android has provided (which is still true to this day).

I think the market gap still exists for people who don't want to run an iPhone, but prefer a simpler and more reliable experience than what the computer-in-your-pocket Android provides.

Especially, that nowadays I feel apps are becoming less and less popular, and everything's going back to the browser.
