Also, consider it'd mean two OSes to learn to use, and that's a drawback. Users want one OS that fulfills all of their needs, at least for their smartphone ones, that's their ideal solution. Pricing is also a matter. They may accept having to reboot or switch with a hypervisor, if it is cheap, but if the price is around the newest Samsung Galaxy, chances are they're going to stick to the Galaxy.
Anyway, I do think it's a viable product, but a niche product, pretty much as Jolla is right now (maybe a bit more if they use newer hardware). For geeks like us, maybe a bit more to the professional market too, but I believe we are talking about going mainstream, and mainstream tends to simpler (as in easy, not as in the KISS principle) solutions, not to effortlessly reboot or anything like that.
