I think it has more to do with how close to the brink you are. It takes at least a decade for a technology to mature to the point where there's a polished point and click gui for doing it. It sounds like Borg just hit that inflection point thanks to k8slens which I'm sure is very popular with developers working at enterprises.

That makes a lot of sense, and it would generalize: things that have existed for longer have received more attention and more polish than fresh new things
I'd expect running a binary to be more mature than running a script, and the script to be more mature than a GUI, and complex assemblies with many moving parts (ex: a web browser in a GUI) to be the most fragile
That's another way to see there's an extremely good case for using cosmopolitan: have fewer requirements, and concentrate on the core layers of the OS, the ones that've been improved and refined through the years
