The reasons you mention here, are not about free open source software,
but for commercial interests. Opie is free open source software, and
will always be free software.
You want a bad commercial software example? Maemo. Points to all the

not, because it isn't free open source software.
I want more free software, not more commercial software.

Opie has had kde apps for quite a few years now - kpacman, tinykate, etc.
