Is a 40,000 core disaggregated rack really that different from a 4 core laptop? Google pioneered this way of thinking [1]. tl;dr the datacenter is a computer and that computer will inevitably have an OS.

Indeed, ie the datacenter doesnt expose an OS but a set of APIs. There's enough differences between that and a full OS (which also provides its own API) to call bs IMO.
