There may be legal restrictions how you can use other manufacturers devices to promote your own. Also, doing it would send a message that you can install Sailfish OS on existing devices (which is partially true) and if it's reviewed like that, general public interprets it like supported way, which it is not. N9 and N950 were used as developer devices for Sailfish, but for legal reasons Jolla could not officially support Sailfish on those devices.
IIRC that was because they would have had to ship binary blobs of copyrighted software that belonged to Nokia and they didn't have a licence to do that. It wasn't because of trade dress restrictions.
It's not the case when they're bunging their software with libhybris over a Cyanogen/AOSP base.
(as an aside - Sony just released Marshmallow AOSP for the as yet to ship Z5 & Z5 compact. Now that would be a cool device to see with Sailfish)
multitasking is smooth, there’s close to no lag at all when juggling between apps and it can handle most games (albeit limited to what the store has to offer).

Unfortunately I have problems with the battery, it charges to 100% but when I disconnect the charger it says immediately 49%. Battery resistance test fails also

Basic qemu doesn't need gtk3 support. I use qemu on my desktop and don't have gtk3 installed. It was probably some management application that needs it.
The requirement is in the qemu-system-i386 binary from the openSUSE repos.

If they need to bundle binary blobs needed for the HW to work, they would need to license that also. It has been restrictive even with Jolla phone (hence, no flashable images).
