I have zero interest in having Instagram for Linux, but I would like to have a wide selection of apps that appeal to geeks and non-geeks. I would also love it if indie developers could make a living developing Linux apps full-time. 

This is mostly a phone for tinkerers and not likely to appeal to the average Joe. Why would any proprietary application developer port their app to a 0% user base -Sad.
Even Linux desktop has the same problem.  At least the Linux desktop has some appeal with developers. Which explains  its 3% usage.
