I was under the impression that SeL4 exists.

That's true, but as a microkernel, seL4 has a very limited scope. It's not in the same ballpark as, say, the Linux kernel. It's more like a hypervisor. [0]

From a quick google, seL4 has around 10,000 lines of C code, whereas the Linux kernel has around 30,000,000.

I think CSIRO disbanding the team was a huge mistake, but in any case they weren't producing the kind of success metrics that sustained their funding.

I know of at least one other company that is picking it up.
