> "incorporate a crude approximation of a multitasking OS in their software"
Many embedded systems have a 'crude' OS library... and in many cases this makes them far simpler than including an RTOS. Not having seen the code here, I can't comment on this one, but just including a simple scheduler is not necessarily a bad design decision.
The the other aspects of your "Keep It Simple" answer, I fully agree with.
