Those of us that do embedded systems do that all of the time
(write a program that does something useful with no OS
underneath it). That said, even we tend to use a small OS (or
even a large one) when the programs get large and complicated.

A small OS might only take a couple KB of memory. A larger one
can take up several MB.

Not that any of this helps us figure out what the OP wants to
do.
