I'm confused about your point about web browsers. Web browsers do not handle any sort of graphics or display on my phone. There an app. They handled graphics and display within the app. It's the same thing for chrome OS. Some people seem to think that chromeOS is a giant web browser. It's not. It's essentially a regular Linux distribution. I was using Linux for years before Facebook existed or apple was considered a legitimate computing company again. I'm pretty confused about your comparisons to web browsers or Windows 93. I would consider those more in the realm of window managers, if even that. It seems that this entire discussion has people confused about window systems and window managers. If you want to write direct to a frame buffer, go for it I guess.
