One can only wonder why did it take billions to develop an OS, let alone failed. There probably was more skyscraper-paid managers than developers in the project.
Just look at what and how fast a small team has achieved developing Serenity OS from scratch for free.
Sure, they stood on the shoulders of giants of modern C++, modern hardware etc but I doubt the difference of how hard it is to develop an OS today and then is SO big it is worth billions.
