In many cases the additional complexity, cost, time, etc., is not worth the benefit, if any, of using a real-time OS (RTOS).  If you really need the fine-scale scheduling, predictable latency, etc., of an RTOS, then that is what you need.  Sysems based on the client/server architecture of Kmax don't care how the server is implemented as long as the appropriate commands are implemented.
