Ask HN: Universal testing machines OEM software needed?

Is anything resembling the Android (for mobile) and the ROS (for robotics) o.s. still needed for legacy and especially new universal testing machines, the likes you use for tensile, compression and a lot more tests of materials? With new and cheap materials being tentatively produced all the time these days, entry level and mid-tier universal testing machines of any form are popping up weekly but software is just... meh.
