in fact, operating systems kernels are known to be more difficult to develop than typical applications.
I'm not convinced. The core OS kernel code, sure; but more than half of the Linux kernel is drivers, and those are not just applications but separate applications; a change in an Intel wifi driver is unlikely to interact in any way with the nvme driver.
