Are all hypervisors considered to be Operating Systems? Are the creators writing their own kernel and such?
You'd probably have to pick a definition of "operating system" to say for sure, but I think in general, the answer is no. At least, not by any modern expectations of what needs to be in a useful operating system. At minimum, a hypervisor can be a simple scheduler and some hardware drivers.
