> Nothing desktop is going to be that vertically integrated easily

Why? Are there any technical reasons?

I think this is a pure framework / system-API question.

Only things I can think of is that for windowed apps, you have to wait for the OS to hand you mouse events, since the mouse may be on another window, and you have to render to a window instead of directly to the framebuffer.

Which brings us back to "system APIs".
