How is still in business and thriving more obscure than historic only and no 
longer used?

Classic erroneous presupposition.  College football fans, of which
there
are plenty, were treated to the IBM OS/2 Fiesta Bowl back in the 90s,
Eater.

Classic erroneous presupposition.  OS/2 had far more than a
microscopic
market share, Eater.
