I don't get it. Why would any vendor make a closed phone? Better yet,why would anyone buy a closed phone? I mean there are plenty of MS and Symbian phones out there and hundreds of great apps.

This isn't a very logical idea. Helio's phones are awesome, which is why we support them. Yes, customization is a major feature for phones, but previously it was thought that only WIPI (a Korean standard for phones) would run on them. Even Helio was shocked by this as a picture of Opera Mini running on their Ocean was sent to them :)
