Yes, but...

Being able to learn new things (which I never have had any trouble with)
has little to do with VMS as such. It has everything to do with each
person.

And an Android phone? I do not think you can run z/OS on it either.
Does those using z/OS care about that?

Should all our phones have been running VMS instead of Android?
MS tried with Windows and that did not work that well.

The fact is that 99.99 % of all phone users just couldn't care less what is 
running inside their phone. It is all about the usage.

Your problem is that you are so focused on finding something that is 
"different" in VMS that your examples sometimes just becomes jokes.
