I think macOS is actually Unix certified. It at least was at one point.

At one point many years ago. BSD is true UNIX btw.

I looked it up. macOS is still unix certified.

BSD is usually not unix certified, so has to refer to itself as unix like.

What is and isn't unix is kind of up to what definition you're working with (pedigree, legally, practically).

And what always gets lost in these discussions is if that old Unix stuff was so amazingly good that we should automatically assume Linux is inferior for not doing it. Even though all the old Unix vendors are basically dead now and replaced by Linux. That might have happened for a reason.
