I don't see how ROS solves 'a real need for a platform-agnostic application layer above the native OS.'

It's not platform agnostic (works best with Ubuntu Linux) and is hardly a layer above the native OS, just applications communicating via standardized means.

ROS2 supports Windows, OS X, and Linux. I expect the support will only get better as ROS2 matures.

I can't imagine any way to make such a system work without some kind of middleware for applications which gladly is DDS now for ROS2.
