There was a lot of Unix already, and Linux ate it's lunch by being a simple recompile away.

MacOS does a lot to try and hide that it's a Unix.

There is a lot of Linux command line software ported to MacOS, but I can't think of any good examples for the other way around.

Apple does a good job staying up to date with UNIX standards, it is the devs that live in GNU land that get surprised.

I'm not sure who you are talking to, I didn't say anything about Apple not keeping up with Unix standards.
