You are half right. Someone took a close look at a USB webcam they had and found it was running Linux on a small Mips CPU. Now there is a little dev board based on that work; github.com/HackerHomestead/teacup
What do you do with that devices after you done porting plan9 to it? Especially those ip phones, what utility can give device with such specialized i/o?
Plan9 makes it very easy to share that i/o with other systems. Say you have a wifi router, a cell phone, an an ip phone, all running 9Front. With all of them on the same network, you could create a namespace that has the ip phone's handset and keypad, and the cell phones mobile radio. The keypad numbers can be set to the mobile radio, and the audio sent to the ip phone handset. Or the other way, use the speaker and microphone of the cell phone, but have it go out the ip phone's voice network. Basically, it allows specialized devices to share with other computers on the network, and allows the creation of container like environments with pieces from multiple devices.
A proper USB-C USB3.2 cable is a computer !

@@adventuresin9797 I think he meant the microcontroller is computer-scientifically a "computer".
Great video. Food for thought.
Heavenly video

@@adventuresin9797 that is the magic of plan9! It's really cool.
