Your criticism is valid, but its possible to get compatibility between macOS (or another BSD) and Linux. GNU utilities are already mentioned but there's also, for example, > What about `lsblk` or `ip`? For a (partly compatible) equivalent to ip I can recommend iproute2mac [1]. You can also use the old utilities from BSD (ifconfig, route, etc) or the GUI. For lsblk I found no drop-in replacement, just equivalents [2] On top of that, Nix works on Linux and macOS.
