Jeez, you're talking about something designed and built in 1982-1983 (over 30 years ago) and meant to run on something with 128KB of RAM with no hard drive and a 400KB floppy disk.

You try fitting all that plus a GUI those constraints.

What's amazing is that it had the features it had and that it worked at all.

You might like to check out MenuetOS/KolibriOS and the old QNX demo disk.

Both provide GUIs and rudimentary Web browsers. QNX was full POSIX, too, although the demo disk didn't include a terminal.
