Those other markets already exist, and BeOS and now Haiku can already fill
some of those needs.  There's two or three, perhaps more companies, who use
BeOS (and now Haiku?) under the hood of their devices.  We don't need to
focus on those markets, but we don't shut the door on them either.  We
welcome their developers on our mailing lists and help out where we can and
they may do the same for us in return.
