Their ECC's use no OS at all, just basic bare-metal state machines.

You mean that they roll their own RTOS rather than buying one known to
work. You can make a state machine controller with FPGAs and no OS,
but a uP needs some sort of RTOS in order to function even if they
don't call it that and it is integral with the rest of the code.

No it doesn't - unless you are going to redefine "an RTOS" as "any
program whatsoever"! Which would render the term pretty useless, don't
you think?
