I bet we're going to see a lot more of this. UNIX kernels have dominated computing use cases outside of desktops for a long time more because they conveniently come with free source code than because they are a great design. Now AI makes it so easy to experiment, I hope we'll see a new era of exploration in OS and framework design. We're already seeing the start of this with Omarchy but it's baby steps and not focused on the lowest levels. The stark differences between NT, XNU, SeL4 and Linux show there's plenty of room for differentiation at the bottom, and (other than SeL4) those are all still very similar due to commercial pressures.
