Greetings; The problem is that Sine Nomine is not mentioned the first time that David is quoted. They remembered to slip it in the second time.
As for the statement in the article, I guess I must be in a small minority. I have been working with main frames for (mumble) years and I never had any flavor of OS running on the hardware I was using until relatively recently. VM and lots of VSE, but no OS! In most of the places I worked they didn't have OS at all! Sometime in the early 90s, in my prior job, we LPARed a 3090-600 and ran both MVS and VM on it and later moved to a 9672, also LPARed. But here, at this shop, we have no OS of any flavor! VM and VSE are running on a 9672-X37. Good Luck! Dennis
