Windows was not one of the first operating systems, nor Android for mobile OS. Doesn't seem like great comparisons to make to be honest.
The first operating system for real work is arguably in 1956 [1]. 13 years later we still didn't have the personal computer.
The internet was born in 1983. 13 years later it was around 36M users (1% global population) [2]
With "general purpose" crypto/decentralized apps really only getting going in 2015 w/ ethereum, it does seem like early days. The UX and infrastructure/tooling are still a ways away from being consumer ready.
