This is yet another instance of the OS reuse problem, e.g., where airports, banks, medical terminals, etc have all kinds of unwanted features because the software is based on booting a GUI OS desktop and using hacks to make it display the program. Not valid engineering of course. |

Yes, it would obviously be much more "valid engineering" to have each of these devices have their own custom, invariably much buggier and crappier, OS.
