for posterity, why did mercuryOS fail?

I don’t think it failed. From what I understand it was a research project, not an actual product.

I don't think it ever failed in the sense it never shipped because that was out of scope. It was never meant to be an end-product. It was a concept/case-study. Happy they're finally realising that vision.
