The classic way that this has always happened in the past is by solving a specific problem in a hacky-but-cheap way as compared to existing tech. The issue I see here is I can already run Unix on a smartwatch or a car radio, so it seems difficult to understand where new computing paradigms will come from. Google's Fuchsia is a contender, but I wonder how realistic it is that it would ever become 'the standard'. Maybe the future is a world of truly heterogenous operating system design, but more likely we will employ a one-size-fits all approach just like every other industry. All car engines are about the same, all shoes are constructed with similar parts, all stoves are basically interchaneable, it is unrealistic to expect that software will be any different.
