I don't think this actually is an "operating system" in the traditional sense of the term. It isn't trying to replace Linux/Windows/XNU/etc, it isn't something like Fuschia or seL4. They mention a "minimal kernel", but I bet it isn't their own custom OS kernel, it is just a Linux kernel with some minimalist configuration
It is more an "application server" – if WebSphere, WebLogic, Tuxedo, CICS, TXSeries, etc, are "operating systems" then this is an operating system too.
Maybe a merged "application server"/"database", which is not actually a new idea (go back to 1999 or so, and Oracle's J2EE app server was built into Oracle RDBMS, and ran as part of the database; shortly thereafter Oracle decided this was a bad idea, and moved to a more conventional architecture in which the app server runs in a standard JVM outside of the database)
