Sailfish Secure -- for govs and corps only?

From yesterday's press release (My emphasis):

With Sailfish Secure, the two Finnish companies, Jolla Ltd. and the market leader in security solutions, SSH Communications Security, are aiming to answer the increased demand in privacy in mobile communications. The solution will be based on a security-hardened version of the open and independent mobile operating system Sailfish OS, and SSH’s communication encryption and key management platform.

Customers for the solution can include government officials, and corporations needing a secure mobile solution. The aim is also to make the solution affordable for consumers.

I may read this wrong, but does this mean there will be a more security-hardened fork of SailfishOS targeted govs and corps? If so, how come you don't want to harden the existing SOS? I, as a regular citizen, also want the most secure SOS. And I want my friends to have it as well. Not only govs and corps.

Can you please explain the thought behind this a bit more?

Thanks!
