What is it you actually miss interms of OpenSource?
Kernel, Systrmd, Pulseaudio,libhybris,buteo,conman even the Wayland Compositor are OpenSource.
You can patch your UI (see openrepos.net and search fir patches).
Granted the Jolla Apps, like calendar, people, notes and such are closed. But you don't need to use them. sailfish-browser is opensource (search it on github).
Take a look at merproject which is an OpenSource project SailfishOS is based on. They have almost everything you need in their github.
User experience ist fantastic when it comes to Free and Open platform. Launch terminal enter devel-su to get root. Use vi or emacs to edit your GNU/Linux system tweak sysctl, your bashrc, pulseaudio, systemd. Edit mount points overlay your sd card with btrfs over yiur root filesystem. Run your own syncthing or owncloud in your pocket. Analyze and tinker with network.
All possible. I know Android can do most of the stuff aswell but not with that Linux / free and open feeling.
And yes I wish more and more parts of SailfishOS and their Apps would become free and open so you can for example modify the mail client from Jolla ti your liking.
But it isn't that bad like everyone wants to make it.
