I agree. Tannenbaum noticed this, too. He calls it the television model. Skip to 1:25 in the video below to watch him hilariously contrast the television and computing experience for the lay buyer:
Now, tablets and smartphones are closer to the television model. Mac OS X got fairly close to it for desktops. So, I know it can be done. There's just this willingness to... DO IT.
In parallel, we can do the Burrough's model for servers and the Genera model for hackers. Cuz seriously, what real hacker is using C on inefficient black boxes of black boxes? Do they know what they're missing?
