Users of Nokia X will be accustomed to a swipe UI and no google services or play store. This will make the update to SailfishOS more straithforward compared to a pure Android experience, hence with a greater chance of a happy update.

Moreover, being the Nokia X a low spec smartphone it will benefit a lot of a lightweigther OS made of native code, so it's not just for the sake of the OS but also to boost a bit the performances (only for native apps).
