I also thought about this, but I'm not sure that's the case. At the very least, they managed to collect close to $10 million in a a two week period, without much of an advertising budget and only some vague on-paper specs and a few renders.

I think that gives them some leverage when negotiating with manufacturers to show that there is at least some demand for high-priced smartphones running their software stack.
