Yep, this is the technical debt OS creators are facing. There was actually a time not that long ago when operating systems deviated wildly and struck out in all sorts of directions, but because of lack of applications most of them died out despite the immense amount of work put in to them. If you’re not building in some amount of compatibility, building the OS itself is a fraction of the work ahead.
