I see nothing there about what they are starting and what they are doing later on. You are reading your own assumption into that. So relax and wait for more concrete statements/actions from Jolla. It takes more time to "lock" something. Unlocked variant should be implicitly there already and doesn't really require anything "later on". Just my thoughts about it.

Um, the Nexus One (which was the first Android dev phone) didn't come out until 2010, a year after the first Android phone, the G1.

I don't want one PC application that takes care of syncing, I want standards like USB and Bluetooth to just work between any device and my smartphone. I don't want to subscribe to yet another so-called cloud service to host my pictures or contacts, I want to continue using those that already work for me.

After all, that's what smartphones are all about. The other thing, the device that comes with its own ecosystem and forces the consumer into this trap, is not a smartphone.

That's is what Web applications and Web OSs. Like tizen will give you. Localized "stores" you don't need an app, and just a plug in...

This - the first sentence especially - articulates my feelings on the subject also.

You are a bunch of hopeless romantics I'm sure if they locked it down in a safe, 1000 feet below the surface you would still say it is open and free because it's "based on Mer"

That is what I want too. The N900 alternative with no ecosystem built into it. If you read the interview however, that is definitely not what Jolla is cooking up.

Therefore I don't see Jolla as an alternative, it's just yet another closed system "based on open source core". Android without apps and the Google ecosystem essentially.

I may be wrong, but based on what is known today, that is definitely where Jolla is headed.

I noticed this quote, on apps:

Does this cryptic answer hint towards the above rumour being true? (or is at least being planned.)

There must be a study that correlates humanistic behavioral mannerisms (lord of the flies?) with the way this thread is going. Stop speculating on rumors, assumptions and bad translations. Wait for them to explain their strategy then jump in, they haven't done that so far.
