Your view of what constitutes a tool is overly broad. An OS is not a tool. A hand plane is a tool. It’s sharp and does one thing. The stuff an OS does might enable tools, and it may contain many tools, but it is not itself a tool.
- brianpan 2mo agoA food processor is a kitchen tool even though it does many things. A computer is also a tool that does many things and the OS is arguably the important part of how a user wields that tool.

- tremon 2mo agoBlending is just one of the functions of a food processor. A food processor can usually also do kneading, mincing, and slicing, or (depending on extensions) even rolling (pasta) dough and squeezing citrus fruits.
