Well, if I understand right, the hardest part of the work

Yes the SDK. That is the part that remains, asides bindings to
the APIs. Much work has gone into iOS and Android but still more
remains to actually use it for everyday apps. Ubuntu on the other
hand is just straight forward. As I mentioned earlier, QML
binding is done (dqml), remaining API bindings and integration
into the SDK.

I do think the Ubuntu offerings are compelling in terms of how
they restructure the phone/tablet experience, particularly in
terms of how they structure things like the security and
permissions models, and the separation between
hardware-interaction-layer vs. core OS vs. application space
and the prospects there for consistent software deployment (and
updates) across many different devices.
That's my point, write one app and sell it to users of phones,
phables, tablet, PC, IoT, etc. No change of code. Everything is
handled by the Adaptive Layout.
