Might just be me, but I think one of the reasons why MS is doing this, to improve their chances of getting those people on board :) Let's face it, if you have an entire corporation buying your phone and paying for the support, it's a win win situation. Another reason (again my opinion) is that tech journalists (or just simply bloggers) haven't been very "open" to windows phones and that makes it hard to find a honest review. With iOS you can simply drop the name, without demonstrating the power and people will buy into it, but MS doesn't have that kind of brand power yet when it comes to phones. They do have it with the Surface line, but not with the phones..
While some apps aren't available to those on w10 (for now) I have noticed a few official apps coming over. We aren't getting a lot, but we are getting maybe one new official app a day? or every two days? Some are already running their favorite android apps using Astoria, so as far as apps are concerned, we seem to be, at least, heading in the right direction :D
Or maybe im being too optimistic heheh
