That is a very special offer and many developers were quick to claim their piece of the cake. Microsoft got almost 600 requests in the first 24 hours after releasing the message on twitter.
The reason for WebOS developers can get free phones is that WP 7 (Windows Phone) doesn't have a lot of apps and stuff as the android market and appstore has, and if Microsoft is to have any chance at all for getting into the smartphone market they need to appeal to the consumers with a lot of functionality and techie-stuff, they think. Therefore they have made this little offer to get the old WebOS developers to make apps for WP 7...
I believe it's the number of users that attract developers, but it's not the number of apps that attracts users, it is the product itself, in this case the phone.
