Newbie here looking for help on staking in ledger - DOT Stuck bonded?
Side note: It does take time for everything to the validators on Polkadot-JS App to load, but I've never seen an issue on the repo about them _never_ loading.

Polkadot-JS UI doesn't support the functionality to pay with a sufficient asset yet. When using Polkadot-JS UI, transaction fee needs to be paid in DOT.

Polkadot Digest 22 June 2022
If you are attempting to verify the SHA512 hash of the Electron version of Polkadot-JS, note that the package manager base64-encodes the hash. See this issue for how to convert: https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/issues/4713

polkadot.js 1010 bad sig error on MOVR
Even though Polkadot-JS App will show an Ethereum-style address, I don't know if it can actually interact with the Moonriver/Moonbeam networks - I'm seeing a few open PRs/issues which make me think it does not work (e.g. https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/pull/5216)

sign a message with a ledger?
You would need to ask Ledger to support this functionality. Not sure if this was you who just asked on the Polkadot-JS Apps repo, but this is a Ledger issue, not Polkadot-JS. https://github.com/polkadot-js/api/issues/5522

Can you build commercial, independent apps with Polkadot API and profit from them?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Polkadot API", if you are referring this : https://github.com/polkadot-js/api Then, their license contains the information you need to know (https://github.com/polkadot-js/api/blob/master/LICENSE).

Query Polkadot by address?
Sidecar and running your own node are probably your best bet. Or you can interact via the Polkadot API - https://github.com/polkadot-js/api

The staking on the DOT ecosystem and the wallet apps are painfully slow
KSM is (very) young and UX is probably not a priority. I'm pretty sure it is an API issue, not a strict UX one. You have more chance to get an answer by raising an issue here or here.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing apps and api you can also consider the following projects:
tools - Various cli tools for Polkadot and Substrate chains, including basic node monitoring, making API queries via a cli app and other command-line tools
guilds-openzeppelin-defender - A Web3 demo game that uses OpenZeppelin's Defender features
extension - Taho, the community owned and operated Web3 wallet.
sidewinder - Django starter kit that focuses on good defaults, developer experience, and deployment. Updated for Django 5.
extension - Simple browser extension for managing Polkadot and Substrate network accounts in a browser. Allows the signing of extrinsics using these accounts. Also provides a simple interface for compliant extensions for dapps.
