That's basically my conclusion as well. Though if we can come up with enough killer apps that aren't supported by Android/iOS, it might also open up an opportunity for someone like Microsoft to fork Android and open it back up for developers (feels weird even saying that).
I would not mind syncthing to be limited to ish permissions.
