I expect it is because people who want to provide something like your service-oriented OS will do it as an application layer over existing operating systems.
This also gives them the flexibility to factor the problem into smaller bits. Cap'n Proto is a service-oriented something-or-other, built on capabilities and even typed objects. But it does not give a flying -ck about storage.

- vertex-four 10y agoThe issue is that all these bits and pieces are wonderful for developers, and to a lesser extent sysadmins, but not so wonderful for users, who still get to interact with their systems using much the same paradigm as when the first desktop operating systems came out. The closest I can find would be Sandstorm, which ends up being a frankenstein mashup of Linux and a capability system.
