Probably because its quicker and easier to use OS calls with C because the
OS is written in C. Dipping into an Ada binding to access C stuff always
feels like an unnatural act and invariably complicates the job. Just another
data point indicating it would be useful to have an Ada OS and that the
argument "Well, you can always bind to blah blah blah..." is seldom
compelling. :-)
