This is yet another thing that non-techies sincerely don't care about. For them, it is the OS.
Now you can walk around telling every grandma that they should not refer to it as OS, but you will unlikely succeed in that mission. Accept it...

But we are technical people talking about OS design. So I don’t really understand your point.
My point is that you produced dozens of paragraphs about terminology but added zero value to the actual discussion and all that while totally understanding what others actually meant.
Tech news sure. But not in average peoples news. Or at the very most, only on special tech segments. Either way, definitely not frequent.

I was discussing the complexities of writing hardware drivers after it was stated that it’s easier than UIs.
Where’s the value in your comments here? You are adding nothing, just arguing for the sake of arguing.
> all that while totally understanding what others actually meant.
“Misunderstanding” I assume you meant (given the context of your comments). Either way, and as I said to the other commenter (though I’m not convinced you two aren’t shill accounts for the same person given your writing styles are the same), I did understand. I just disagreed and cited some experience I had to back up my points of view.
I don’t really understand your problem here. This is a tech forum and we are talking about operating system development. Yet you’re begrudging me having a technical conversation about operating system development.
