Yet, all major OSes were human lives are at risk are microkernels, go figure.

Eh, stuff like older vxworks plays loose and fast with the term microkernel that wouldn't fly today. I don't even think they try to claim that it is one anymore until their most recent release where they actually added (optional) process isolation.
I was thinking more of INTEGRITY OS and similar high integrity computing OSes.
You said "all major OSes were human lives are at risk".

INTEGRITY is a fairly minor player.

Not when human lives are at risk.
Yes, when human lives are at risk.

Unless you want to give a citation about it's market share.

It goes both ways.
What OSes? Citation please.

Microkernel as cpu architecture abstraction layer. Such are only accidentally microkernels and not OSes at all as i understand them. They deliver on what of all those wonderful lists of microkernel benefits?

Stuff like INTEGRITY OS and QNX.
