Maybe.  Both Android and, to an even greater extent, iOS (and to a degree MacOS before that, and on a continuing basis), have done violence to many of the traditional assumptions people have about OS's, processes, file systems, and so on.

Note that I'm *not* saying any of these are implementing a capability model - though MacOS with its xpc's is moving in that direction - just that they've implemented *different* models, and programmers have adjusted.

So perhaps there's some hope.
