Designing things which cannot be implemented with reasonable complexity.
Is plain and simple bad design.
But then you dont even provide any design you just vaguly point toward
some mysterious protocols.

And i can also describe a kernel, compiler and browser in a few vague and
simple sounding words, this doesnt make the implementation simple.

Also fact is, users will give a damn about your incest theorems. If they
want menus, multiple programs, ... in their files they will use a container
supporting that.
Noone will sit down and start designing and then implementing the protocols
and other support structures vaguly pointed at by you. And in the end that
just leads to a double container containing everything the users want.

Many things microsoft did are stupid, but not doing something just because
microsoft did it is even more stupid. If everything ms did were stupid they
would be bankrupt already.
