I don't see why there would be much of a difference.
Having nothing to directly copy makes imitation harder, but it doesn't make avoiding imitation any easier.
Also, TempleOS _does_ have a user interface, possibly (I don't know TempleOS internals) technically even more so than Linux, where everything above terminal I/O is an add-on that can be replaced.
