Like NT? It is in fact the UNIX-likes that are compelled into a fairly ancient stream-of-bytes model; NT (and Windows atop it) understands that data needs to have structure, and imposes structure on that data at an OS level; everything is a manipulable handle, rather than an opaque block of memory to be written to/read from, arbitrarily.
