Well, as I'm thinking of it NextStep was still effectively a "rewritten from scratch" OS—it just happened to get written outside of Apple.

That is not what Joel means by rewriting from scratch. NextStep was not written to replace Mac OS, it was just later adapted into that purpose. It is a completely different scenario.
