This is why I like to use the term “*nix” with a meaning that has
nothing to do with the trademark, for how a system is supposed to
work. POSIX is a core part of that, of course. But there’s a lot more
to it. Linux and the BSDs conform to this “*nix” concept, while
Apple’s OSes do not.

How about you go away and actually use some proper *nix systems for a
few years, then you can come back and show us how you’ve answered the
question for yourself.

Actually, how about you log in to a shell on an Apple system
and "see for yourself".

It's not only Unix, it's UNIX(r).
