Operating Systems that are actually in use show that the real difficulty of Computer Science isn't deeply complex algorithmic complexity (although OSs have algorithms and data structures in spades)

A lot of what is lost was handling a much smaller breadth of hardware, applications, and as you pointed out, a much simpler security exposure profile.
