It is because the basic definition of embedded system is that it involves hardware and software for a single application. The device that is using an operating system may be an embedded system. But the operating system itself is not an embedded system It is because that it is only a software but not the combination of hardware and software.
If you are talking about a P.C (or Mac) operating system, then it would be an information system. An embedded system is something like that in a modern washing machine. It only deals with a pre- set range of parameters, and is often run on specifically designed hardware, with the memory containing the "system" physically attached to the chip.
in desktop system Intel ENGINEERS writes the operating system program(different ways in which a paticular program can be executed) and user (like software developers ) writes the application program n execute it on OSP.WHEREAS IN EMBEDDED SYSTEM both operating system program(OSP) and application progarm r WRITTEN BY ENGINEERS (TAHT IS USER CANT WRITE APPLICATION PROGRAM)
A whole lot of things - as a desktop/laptop operating system, used in embedded system scenarios (smartphones, routers, Raspberry Pi, some media players like older iPods), and as servers.
# A specialized computer system that is part of a larger system or machine. Typically, an embedded system is housed on a single microprocessor boardprograms stored in ROM. Virtually all appliances that have a digital interface -- watches, microwaves, VCRs, cars -- utilize embedded systems. Some embedded systems include an operating system, but many are so specialized that the entire logic can be implemented as a single program. # Embedded System is: specified purpose controller which is embedded as part of larger system. An embedded system has historically been defined as a single function product where the intelligence is embedded in the system. It could be anything from a dishwasher to a hearing aid, if that product includes a microprocessor and software. Many of today's embedded systems are looking more like PCs with user interfaces, touchscreens, displays, keypads and more. Still, these are not general function systems but are designed to perform very specific functions.

Linux is an operating system which is free and has an open source unlike Microsoft Windows. An embedded Linux is a small independent program used within all sorts of appliances to control its operation and its functions.
An operating system is / was called a "disk" operating system because it was stored on a floppy disk or hard drive, as opposed to either being embedded in a ROM chip (like early versions of Mac OS were), or stored on a cartridge, cassette, tape reel, or some other storage medium. The usage fell out of favor due to the popularity of MS-DOS: "DOS" was thereafter used to refer only to MS-DOS or compatible operating systems.

Android is a mobile computing operating system developed by Google. You can find the Android operating system on devices like phones, tablets and even a handful of laptops.
Linux is a name for an operating system that was created by Linus Torvalds. It is an operating system in the since that you can run it like you would run Windows on a computer, but it is free. Linux is not an operating system in itself. Just like Windows is not an operating system in itself with Linux you have different distributions such as Linux Mint (which you should try) Just like you have Windows XP and Windows Vista Linux has different distributions.
