Yeah, because universities do nothing but making 8-bit CPUs yet, and all industry only makes 16-bit+ CPUs (wouldn't be surprised that it is actually the other way around, no universities doing much with 8-bit now, and the industry still making them for washing machines and the like)

As said, the whole argument hangs together from these artificial border conditions that make the whole thing ludicrous. And then on top comes your weird POSIX obsession retrofitted onto Dos like it never was.

Again: total fantasy world.
