So define it more precisely. What exactly is high level OS? I think there is
no such a definition - today's equipment needs sophisticated OSes - the
difference is that they are usually no breakable by normal user action -
they are simply encoded in ROM chip and they are written especially for this
equipment. But many of them allows some type of user intervention - like
flash ROM updates or plug-ins in Digita OS - and that's the way viruses
could be written and run eventually, doing some weird things with your new
DSLR ;-)

Brush up your reading skills - I didn't write there are OSes in ALL cameras.
