A new OS has to be better than the existing alternatives, not only
different. It also needs to inspire the confidence that it will be around
for longer than a mayfly. A small scale example is Mbed OS.

The second link is why Arduino chose Mbed for the Nano 33 BLE Sense. It
made perfect sense in 2019. Arduino wasn't the only one to use Mbed. Now
they are scrambling to move to Zephyr OS.

Compared to a general purpose OS like Linux or BSD, an embedded RTOS is
samll potatoes but for something like Firefox for example to develop for a
new OS there has to be the confidence it isn't going to die. That applies
to many projects other than OSs where you're dependent on a third party.
