The Posix interface support was there so *MS* could bid on US government

about it being standard for all their contracts.
The Posix DLLs didn't come with WinNT, you had to ask MS for them
specially.
And that whole POSIX subsystem was so sadistically, unusably awful, it
just had to be intended for show as a box-ticking exercise, nothing more.

Back then "object oriented" and "micro-kernel" buzzwords were all the
rage.
OO still lives on in higher-level languages. Microsoft’s one attempt to
incorporate its OO architecture--Dotnet--into the lower layers of the OS,
in Windows Vista, was an abject, embarrassing failure which hopefully
nobody will try to repeat.
On the other hand, some stubborn holdouts are still fond of microkernels
-- you just have to say the whole idea is pointless, and they come out of
the woodwork in a futile attempt to disagree ...
