Jolla / Sailfish OS fails (for average users) - what is this company doing?

You can downvote here as much as you like, but bear in mind: I tried to use and love this phone, but after a second chance (Jolla 1 and now Jolla-C) it just fails miserably. I really do dig/love Jolla's UI, its simple and swiping + having all the opened apps on one screen is absolutely wonderful but it is not working.

I have battled with my Jolla-C since day one. I consider myself as an average users, with a bit of technical knowledge (had my device as Sailfish only (no android)). But Sailfish OS is BROKEN. It is not working solidly at all. I know most of these errors I list are already covered on other threads but the point of this particular post is to show how badly this phone fails in everyday use. Please take a look at this list:

-phone app disappears when putting call on loudspeaker and closing other apps, call is still on and the app re-disappears when call ends -phone app messing up incoming calls, calls on hold and receiving calls -messages might get HOURS before they are delivered (sent inquiry to Telia's number, got the answer 7hrs later, although the time stamp on message was one minute after I sent the inquiry) -adding text to MMS makes two separate messages (MMS AND SMS) and SMS dont get sent -receiving call while headphones on: you cant use the loudspeaker to talk, so you remove the plug. After the call ends the phone freezes / doesnt work and you have to reboot -emails might take hours to reach their destination -email messages re-appear after you deleted them -phone cant connect to PC (USB device not recognised) unless you do a reboot on both machines -when copying files from Jolla to PC, "progress windows" usually gets stuck in the end (but files are still copied) -browser gets stuck on every session -browser cant open certain pages at all ...

These are the most common tasks users does with the phone and yet the struggle is huge. And this list goes on....how can one use this as an everyday phone?

Almost four years and Sailfish doesnt have stable phone and message apps?

And now one should pay for the Xperia-X port? Give me a break. I'm frustrated and sad this is the case and honestly I do not know what this company is doing.

I cant praise enough how awesome it is finally to have a solid working phone now that I switched to android (Nokia 5).
