If I write a new OS how will you force the "word processing, video conferencing, and music-selling" companies to write code for it? If they don't write the above my OS is worthless, but if my OS fails in the market anyway they just wasted a lot of money. This is why OS companies tend to have the other things, their OS cannot exist in a vacuum and the only way to ensure they have those needed tools is to write them themselves.
