(huge TCB, drivers in the kernel, global namespaces, ambient security) This is a unix-like, and none of those are inherit to unix/derivatives; there are small unixen, there are microkernel unixen, containers are popular, and whatever security model you want, someone has hacked it onto an existing unix-family OS.
