You're referring to Meizu et al, yes?
But those are large (oem) companies already, and Jolla is a small startup.
Besides, Jolla has completely opposite strategy, which it seems you have not grasped at all:
- If you are an Android company, You concentrate on the HW and let Google worry about the SW end for you.
- Jolla, on the other hand has decided that they make the SW stack and let somebody else worry about the HW!!
It may not be a huge shift for them, certainly not as much as some other alts, I'm not talking about shifting to Android ODM & Android ODM alone.
Being an Android ODM may also give them more insights then they ever anticipated, & manifest in better results/strategies for Mer/Nemo/Sailfish.
It's by no means a cheap investment, but if executed well there's a good chance it's a better money maker than their current approach.
They can use a portion of this $ to put back into their work on MeR/Nemo/Sailfish/TOH/Qt/Other & accompanying hw...
But they may simply not have enough $ to do anything like this, we just don't know...

They focus on the hw a heck of a lot more than someone like Canonical & many of the other alts, they've taken more of a middle road.
But this is my point exactly: Those are not becoming android OEM's, they handle HW like Jolla; get somebody else to do it.

Both options are poison for a startup operating on shoestring budget!

The only alt. platform I'm aware of whose driver has vastly more competence in hw, is Tizen.

We just don't know how much $/resources Jolla has at it's disposal, my point has only ever been that should it have enough, it may be worth a shot.
Anyway, lets end this & agree to disagree, yes?
