I thought that was kind of the point of a unikernel. Or am I mistaken? Does the other one from the other day not do that?

That's certainly part of the point (and probably one of the main performance benefits). However, even if this doesn't happen, a unikernel still gives the advantage that it's much more difficult to run undesired code and is likely to improve security.
