It is a pity that almost every discussion about Alien Dalvik ends up in this kind of statement. I trust the advice was given with the best intentions, but it does not help people like myself, and it doesn't help the discussion.

As it is, SailfishOS is being presented with an Android layer so "you don't have to miss your favorite apps." Right now, I couldn't do without. I have only 1 phone with me, running SailfishX. My network, family included, communicates through Whatsapp. I want to take a glimpse at my bank account occasionally, and I like to play Wordfeud. Losing the Android layer would force me towards an Android phone and I don't like that idea.

I think pacman's question raises some sorrows for Jolla/SailfishOS for the usefulness of the Android layer in the future. And already now, some apps won't install even though the minimum requirement of Android 4.4 seems to have been met in SailfishOS. I hope we can get and keep proper compatibility.
