OpenMoko, the project that creates not only a Linux operating system for phones but the hardware to run it as well, has announced some major changes to its software stack. Traditionally a Gtk+ endeavour, this is all going to change rather drastically.

It's not a myth, it's a reality. Maemo and other platforms don't have a lot of propertary/nonGPL software simply because they are not massive enough.
Excuses excuses. The Palm Zaurus was Qtopia based and had probably similar selection of software. So you have absolutely no evidence that Qt based platforms scare away proprietary developers. Until you can point at a Qtopia platform that actually doesn't have any 3rd party proprietary apps you're just guessing.

That would be the common myth
It's not a myth, it's a reality. Maemo and other platforms don't have a lot of propertary/nonGPL software simply because they are not massive enough. Compare it to palmpilot, winCE, jave phones, etc which had a lot of software written for them simply because they are.
