That's a valid way to approach this - bun isn't valuable enough to bother with or at least wait for a while, Windows is.
But I think the comparison is closer than you are making it sound. I sincerely doubt the Windows codebase was all written by humans, let alone reviewed. And my understanding is that the code is being regularly rewritten and replaced because of how flawed it is, it's just a massive undertaking.
Also if you look at their investment in AI-driven code rewriting into Rust, my bet would be that some modern Windows code itself is being vibe-coded.
I mean should we even compare Bun to Windows in the first place? Like Mircosoft with its resources would find a way to support Bun and Windows is one of their most popular and most used products. The situation with Bun is very different in terms of business/product.
