Agreed, I'm not seeing anything concrete defined in the "architecture" or "whitepaper" documents that would define GreyOS as anything other than a FriendOS ripoff. There is no real explanation of what the "micro-kernel" would provide, no list of available or planned APIs, no actual API descriptions.

Even the code itself boils down to PHP, Javascript, outputting a "silly web interface" that renders iframes. Even the example "applications" are the same thing FriendOS already has, such as classic minecraft.

Also, as soon as I read (in the Github repo) that GreyOS purports to have 100% availability, with all problems fixed in <= 1 hour by an engineer, I was immediately alarmed.
Nothing can claim 100% availability. Even AWS itself has outages, so your own application cannot claim an uptime greater than the platform it's hosted upon.
AWS only promises an SLA of 99%, and offers customer credits for any outages that last longer than the 99% SLA.
