And that's my point! The gap was smaller 12 years ago than what it is today.

Yes, for many years now I've been used to seamless integration between my phone and laptop. All phone calls, SMS:es, address book, photos I shoot, notes I make, browser tabs I keep open and even the copy-pasting I do – it's all synced between the devices. Plus of course the file management and many applications where I can start working on one device and continue on the other.
And now we're just talking the basic stuff and workflow. On top of that of course comes a lot of more niche programs that you can get for Windows/Mac/Android/iOS which you will struggle with finding an alternative for if you go MOS or OS4. Unless you have huge resources an alternative OS can only compete feature-wise if it's based on Linux or BSD (like even macOS, iOS and Android are).
