Why not to make a direct 3.5G perk?

I ask myself all the time what about this strategy in indiegogo. I think for the most people is the first stretch goal not really interesting because if you have a 64GB or 128GB sdcard inside it's probably to install once ant let it inside, so ext4 is anyway preferred. The seconded stretch goal, I don't know - personally for me there is no motivation, but okay. But what really no makes sense to me as I belief that Jolla wants to raise as much as the can why they did it in this way with the 3.5G perk instead of this very high stretch goal. I have no Idea what is possible with indiegogo, but if it's possible to make a perk which only is accepted if e.g. reached $200'000 through that perk, then it would make more sense to charge $90 for it, so at the end if 30% wants 3.5G it would make at the moment already $180'000 more. Let's suppose that the hardware cost will be $30, Jolla had $120'000 for make it happen. I really don't know it, but I guess there will be at the end something over to invest in other things... Just an idea, even if I'm not really interested in 3.5G because I purchased every time a 3G model but at the end I used only wifi or tethering over bluetooth.
