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).

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 tools and api you can also consider the following projects:
apps - Basic Polkadot/Substrate UI for interacting with a Polkadot and Substrate node. This is the main user-facing application, allowing access to all features available on Substrate chains.
guilds-openzeppelin-defender - A Web3 demo game that uses OpenZeppelin's Defender features
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.
substrate-ledger-ed25519 - Extract Substrate and Polkadot compatible ed25519 keys from Ledger mnemonic phrases
sidewinder - Django starter kit that focuses on good defaults, developer experience, and deployment. Updated for Django 5.
