If this gets popular, I can see them stripping the OS and other cruft down so that the application almost runs on bare (virtual) metal. A complete desktop OS with user software and drivers for all the unused hardware sounds unlikely.

This is basically what OSv is. It's stripped down virtualization environment meant to only run a single application on bare (virtual) metal.
