Why aren't more people creating new operating systems, considering that macOS, Windows, and Linux were developed by individuals with computer science and programming skills?

There are two major operating systems that are newish and ubiquitous: android and iOS. Android uses the Linux kernel but it is very different then a standard desktop installation of any other Linux based os. And both macos and iOS use the xnu kernel, but, again, iOS is very much a different os then macos.
