Why are general-purpose OS not good for IoT applications? Is it too complex and not focused enough on the actions?

1. Security. The broader software is, the more insecure it becomes. I’m not saying it’s full of security holes but it loses that benefit of the perfect marriage of hardware and software.
2. IoT devices generally only have one or two uses so don’t need broad coverage of feature sets that general software brings. A thermostat doesn’t need the software API’s a doorbell needs for example.
