E.g. there has to be a reason why MS isn't putting proper Windows OS onto phone devices that have more storage and processor power than my first 286. Wonder what it is.

Up to 3.1 version there was at least a clear distinction between OS and graphic shell: it was easy to just install Dos to have an uncluttered system. Same was doable in OS/2 at start (AFAIR I worked on 1.1 and did not need to install the "Presentation Manager" and Linux held out for pure command line installs much longer ;-)
NT was stable, but the fixed link to graphic shell and its needed installs were there rom start ? So I question the term [ "proper" Windows OS]
;-)
I think the trend for dockerized environments mirrors the need to define and deploy in "basic OS functionality" vs. balloning "OS" installs needed in traditional VMs.
