SVR4 was released in 1990, before win32 or NT even existed. By the time Interix came along, the whole world was ELF — there was even an Intel standard that unified all x86 UNIX ABIs, iBCS.
AIX is the only Unix to retain COFF.
It’s deeply weird, unsupported by standard tools, and shipped with a not quite 100% compatible shim for the gnu linker.
Trust me when I say it is not a fun combination.
