I'd argue it is just that we were in the wrong time. If it was in the 80s/90s, every company was working on its own stuffs. You got multiple versions of BSD, Microsoft just got NT out of the door, and Linux was barely 1.0. Borland was still fighting Microsoft and seemed to be on the upper hand actually, and there were a bunch of other compiler/IDE products.
Nowadays most of the lower level programming stuffs are gone. Sure you get to work on distributed systems, a whole new kind of stuffs, but it's not as exciting as OS, compilers and IDEs.
