This article might be a bit tongue-in-cheek but it's actually something I've been thinking seriously about for a while. I can imagine a future where every country and company writes their own operating system and that might actually be a very good thing. There is a security advantage in not using popular technology stacks and rebuilding everything public-facing in-house. Because with Mythos-level AI capabilities, it is almost guaranteed that anyone with access to Mythos/Cyber can find a zero day in your stack. If your stack is proprietary and bespoke with no public access to source code it's much harder to find vulnerabilities, because they can only probe your public facing interfaces.
