Two reasons:
1 - systemd (which is moving linux towards becoming a systemd OS)
2 - developers and companies moving ever more towards web apps (which will eventually make the underlying OS irrelevant, as the browser becomes the OS) (incidentally, web assembly seems to herald the end of the open/transparent web too, as we're eventually all be running opaque binary blobs on our web browsers)
