Damn if only there was some other system that could be operating with that in mind

I feel like you're saying one operating system does it better, but I fail to think of one.

Windows allows you to set any pixel to any 24-bit colour.

Not really an OS thing, you can get 24 bit 'true' colour on Linux/macOS too depending on term. Alacritty supports it, for example.

You need support from third party software such as Xorg or Weston. On Windows, it just works.

		Do you think xorg and weston dont support more than 16 colors? You just run a different terminal emulator.
