This is why N9 users still don't have any MS Office editors. N900 users have got a lot from the launch of N9 but N9 users have got almost nothing but hostility from N900 developers who refuse to even port their existing apps over.
Wrong thoughts.

The answer is simple : MeeGo Harmattan uses Qt Quick (QML) for GUI (Graphical User Interface) on top of Qt, instead of QWidgets UI used in Maemo 4 & 5. So the majority of Maemo softwares need huge UI rewriting to Qt Quick/QML.
