Those exist e.g. https://menuetos.net/ it’s just most people dont use them.

I agree with you though. If Apple open sourced os9, and the community could get it to run on modern hardware, I would run it.

Interesting project. A floppy sized OS seems about right, excluding some sort of driver tree.

OS preferences seem to boil down to "have someone else made this app work on the system" which makes it very much a network effect issue.

And if you use such an OS to boot a bloated Firefox, then there is hardly any point.
