If 10% of your OS code is in a small piece that might be called a microkernel, and 90% is in one huge blob that implements everything else, then you don't really have a microkernel OS.
Or to phrase that more directly at the point: for monolithic kernels to be obsolete you have to break up the monolithic part, not just shim a microkernel hypervisor on top of it.
