Hmm - what's the overlap between your definition of "bare metal" and the current definition of "embedded"?

I will say, this comment section is the first time I'm hearing about "bare-metal" meaning "without an OS", but the above question is genuine curiosity.

Those terms are orthogonal. Embedded typically refers to running on some HW that is not typically thought of as a computer. Embedded SW can run within an OS or on bare metal.
