Some strange revisionism there as few of the authors of UHH were involved with Windows.. which is what ended up completely eating commercial Unix lunch... a win that was not so much due to Microsoft’s competence as their competitors stupidity.
Meanwhile calling Mac OS X or Android Unix-like just because they have some tools in common (MAC OS X is only vaguely a BSD — and launchd seems to get some love by the same people that have a conniption fit over systems) .. none of those systems use X for sure. Desktop Linux is a rounding error.. the part of Linux that gets used heavily for servers that is the reason that WSL is a thing (to ease development)?? Yeah that has basically fuck all to do with the disasters in SySV/commercial Unix... not too many people using SySV IPC on Linux, and cgroups, epoll, io_uring hardly remind me of the miserable APIs of now ancient Unix.
