im not sure i have a response for all that
when you run an operating system, it does a job, you want to run an operating system that does the job you want
in the windows world it's 1 operating system for workstations, 1 for servers
in android there's 1 for tv and 1 for phones and 1 for tablets
having an operating system be versatile is good but not if you only need 1 job to do, you don't run windows on a router (i hope) because windows has way more than is needed to do a simple job of being a router
conversely you wouldnt run dd-wrt (a router os) on a desktop and expect it to do web browser things
when building an HTPC it has 1 job so it makes sense to use an OS that is tailored for that 1 job
