Maybe it's POSIX that is holding new developments back because people think it's good enough. It's not '60s anymore. I would have expected to have totally new paradigms in 2023 if you asked me 23 years ago. Even NT kernel seems more modern. While POSIX was state of the art when it was invented, it shouldn't be today. Lots of research was thrown in recycle bin because "Hey, we have POSIX, why reinvent the wheel?", up to the point that nobody wants to do operating systems research today, because they don't want their hard work to get thrown into the same recycle bin. I think that people who invented POSIX were innovators and have they live today, they would come with a totally new paradigm, more fit to today's needs and knowledge.
