because macOS is BSD based not Linux Based seems a damn good reason to make one that's going to feel similar to macOS, especially to the type of geeks who would switch to a *nix clone.
You'll have the same command line libraries built in instead of the GNU ones. Now, I'm not saying i _want_ the BSD tools instead of the GNU ones, but it makes a LOT of sense if you're trying to keep the same behavior.

Instead I just saw a lot of criticisms of user experience and development experience of unrelated graphical (userland) software that are common to all the free desktop OS's.
