I suspect this is quite deliberate to ensure a very consistent user experience across the board. Supporting more than one NAS is a bit of a drain on resources as you need to hire more staff to develop and support other products. The updates provided by each manufacturer entails more testing, validation and patches to fix various unsupported features introduced all because GenericNASdevicesareus wanted to release a new feature to allow support for networked fridges...

It might smack of Job's walled garden but I think it's a very good decision.

They could I suppose get in on the act and supply QNAP's pre configured with drives for a subsidized rate to existing Sooloos owners or with purchases of an MS200...
