But the RTOS is already an abstraction layer around the hardware, how would adding another abstraction possibly help?

It's not like you often find yourself in the situation where you want to run the same application on multiple RTOSes, it's usually way too specific to the device.

Perhaps that's the point: make your program more portable across different hardware that may only support specific OSes.

OSAL is written by NASA which do have that situation - NASA have systems they want to run on both Vxworks and RTEMS.
