In my opinion its because operating-system design wasn't sexy after browser-companies came and ate the OS-guys lunches with all that big bubble fuss. So the OS guys went all apathetic and forgot that a majority of their OS is a freakin' browser, and .. here we are. Inception.
Its great we can compile C++ to 'native' assemblies now. We've always been able to do this, btw. The only difference is the delivery mechanism ..
