For embedded systems, you'd have to include the command and control elements in, which then gets into concerns about the amount of memory (both RAM and flash consumed).
For example, the ESP* devices historically have had challenges because you don't have enough flash storage to hold a proper SSL anchor chain. Suffice it to say there is a LOT of nuance when working in the embedded world which vanishes if you (even if just for the purposes of minimal viable product) focus on a full OS.
