you don't need a micro kernel to install medules, nor to make a crash in certain module don't bring the kernel down, you program it isolated, they don't do that now because it's unecessary, but android do that, and there's work being doing in that way https://www.phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-Rust-Scheduler-Micro
the thing is that it's harder todo that, that's why no one does, but not impossible, you also need to give the kernel the foundation to support that
Fun fact: Android's next Kernel, Fuchsia, is a microkernel. So even Google acknowledges the superiority of microkernels.
bro thinking a chromecast OS gonna run in google servers 💀, micro kernels has their utility in embedded system, we know, saying that they are replacement for monolithic kernel is dumb, also companies can't do different/hacks project anymore?
