That doesn't even begin to equate to a lack of advancement.  It's also
not true in the least.

Revolutions are statistical anomalies, so it's best not to depend on
them for progress.  It's not even apparent what revolution is
necessary here.

You need to go look at the people Apple, MS, Google, et al. hire; this
statement is just patently false too.  Plus, after a certainly level
of functionality, the OS vendor does become rather irrelevant.
Otherwise, the web would have never taken off an application platform:
the HTML standard provides the smallest widget set of just about
anything discussed,
though it's painting / layout capabilities are both simultaneously far
advanced and far worse.  Yet, it is likely the way of the future for a
large portion of us, like it or not.
