Look at what MIPI.org has defined since 10 years. Display, Camera, Modem are all serial interfaces to use less wires. But nobody (not Apple or Samsung or HTC or Motogoogle or Micronokiasoft) has done a modular device.

I would assume that his plan is to get publicity for his person. Not for the project.
