Anyone have any modern resources on why green threads are considered "better" than OS threads? Presumably the answer has to be deeper than just allocating stack? I would expect that the OS scheduler is generally better at this than the VM (if not why haven't we fixed this?)

This is focused on the cost of context switching, which is entirely costs that live at the scheduler, right? Is there a reason we can't just improve OS/CPU schedulers in the same way?

I don’t know the answer myself. I think that something like Windows UMS or that switchto patch may be the best approach.
