Yeah let's throw portability and any semblance of order away b/c of ... what exactly? There are only two Unix-like systems left that matter: macOS and Linux. No need to hold them back by pretending we are still in the UNIX wars and retaining compatibility with some UNIX system that nobody really uses anymore.

    I think it's the other way around: the older UNIX wars begat the newer Linux distro wars.

  We need to maintain compatibility with 30 years worth of software. That's a primary reason why Microsoft is still dominant, despite the decline of their flagship to the point where it provokes disgust even in the layperson.
