The Xbox One OS is far more capable than the Xbox 360's OS. Don't judge an OS by the UI.
First and foremost, the Xbox 360 wasn't capable of multi-tasking. The Xbox One allows up to four apps and a game to run at the same time. If you wanted to purchase DLC, you had to exit the game, enter the dashboard, then enter the game store to make a purchase. With the Xbox One, you can pull up the dashboard, open the game store, purchase the DLC than switch back to the game without losing your place.
Second, the Xbox 360's OS, because it ran both games and applications, was a completely closed off system that required scrutiny of every game and app before it was implemented. The two virtual machines that make up the Games and Apps portion of the Xbox One allow greater flexibility and freedom for developers.
Finally, by all accounts the Xbox One is far more flexible and capable than the PS4, and the PS4 uses the same amount of memory and the same number of cores for non-gaming functions.
