I am not so sure about that.

VMS is probably one of the smallest and leanest commercial
OS'es today.

It may be more a result of lack of investment for 20 years
than a deliberate strategy. And we we miss a lot of things.
But still small code base and small API.

I am pretty sure that if VMS kernel had most Macro-32 and
Bliss code rewritten to C, then VMS kernel would be
smaller than just systemd. :-)
