It would be a cool feature if it was possible to open programs without the MainOS "DWM". This would allow to seamlessly integrate the programs as PWAs into the user's OS. Comparable to native installed PWAs or installed programs or maybe even VMware's Unity mode or maybe WSA / WSL apps.

If it's possible to actually "install" a shortcut for every program, so that you get shortcuts for each of them in Windows (for example), just like with WSA, WSL or Phone Link while stile running within the same "Sandbox" (or within the same MainOS installation, in our case), that would be so cool lol.

Potential hickups could include a MainOS update though. Opening multiple instances across multiple instances or layers should NOT be problematic however.

Obviously you'd get one full stack of MainOS programs per MainOS installation, so one per Domain and Browser / One per IOfs container

Just had the same idea again. Great, let's do this!
