Actually, if you use an embedded operating system like MicroC/OS-II, you would have to do the same - write the driver for the screen to have access to it!
Yes, there are options - you could use an RTOS that came with the GUI. But, then you could also use T-Engine (the complete kit) which comes with enough examples and a screen driver that lets you write to it.
But that said, the T-Engine kit comes with drivers for touch panel, LCD screen, RS232, PCMCIA, USB host, USB mass storage and CF storage. The kit lets you boot from internal flash, external CF Card, and USB flashdisk. You can hook up an external CDROM or HDD on the USB.
There's a lot you *can* do if you buy the T-Engine development kit. Combine it with appropriate middleware and you *can* build systems rapidly.
It's not the most comprehensive platform at this second, but it's quite good... I think your analysis of it is a bit biased.
