There is not such a thing as a SNES “OS”. The game cart would overtake the whole hardware.

This even happened in the PC world. My friend had a game on a 5.25” floppy where the floppy was unreadable from DOS. You literally had to boot from the floppy, and you’d boot directly into the game.
Mine came on cassette tapes. It look 1-2 hours to boot the game.
