They may have had the concept, but they lacked the technology.

The Jolla Phones i2c expansion is incredibly limited compared to the Project Ara Greybus expansion that these moto mods phones are using. That simply was not available three years ago, and certainly not on Jollas budget.

Maybe they could have handled a usb based expansion like Fairphone 2 did, but i'm sure they probably looked into that.

Quite simply, whilst its a nice idea, I don't think Jolla is the right company to be able to bring this to market, along with a whole new OS as well.
