A key problem with this is volume.
Most people fall into the "less tech literate" group, which means that the devices made for that market will be better (more capable and/or less expensive).
Maybe there's a solution (I'm think about "developer mode" and "linux development environment" in Chrome OS); but I think it'll always be not so great in the best of cases.
