Note the path from A to B.

Fully monolithic: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, AIX, zOS.

Mostly monolithic: Windows, MacOS

To get to microkernels, we're reaching for QNX and Minix.

Monolithic kernels won *hard* with good reason.

Hard RTOS is a whole different domain of engineering. You're very confused if you think the same principles apply to something which makes sense in a mainstream OS.
