NeXT went bankrupt trying to do this (be a software/OS vendor).  There
are too many variations in hardware; supporting of all the various
devices an OS might encounter on a PC is a huge undertaking.
Microsoft has the resources to do it; few others do.

Since then, with the emergence of the open-source BSD and Linux, it
might not be as impossible as it used to be.  But it's still a lot
easier when you control the entire platform, hardware and OS.
