That may be the case, but IMHO it was and still is the best OS that Microsoft ever released. While my new Windows 10 64-bit computer refuses to run any of my 16-bit software (no NTVDM is available), my old Windows XP 32-bit computer happily runs 16 and 32-bit software. It runs DOS as a true virtual machine, allowing me to set up expanded/extended memory, ram disks and hardware drivers during a DOS session. Frankly, were it not for the fact that Microsoft killed it off in favor of a more restrictive OS in the name of security, I would still be using it today for all of my computer activities.
