While I don't agree with many of your points, I factually disagree with the above statement, after writing this I did find out there are a few phones on the market that seem to be so-so N900 successors:

Sailfish Mobile
Tizen
Ubuntu Touch
FireFox OS

When I looked up the company who makes the actual device that runs Sailfish on Wikipedia though I read this:

Jolla hopes to co-operate with others to grow their application's ecosystem, which many think is weak when compared to iOS and Android. Jolla announced on 17 September 2013 that their phone will be capable of running most Android applications, though without direct access to the Google Play Store.
Upon watching some reviews the tech specs seems poor and extremely over priced, also not all the Android apps worked 100%.

Edit: Not to mention Jolla devices not working on North American frequencies.
