Sure, but I do not think it’s due to their feeling that their own software is inferior. I think much more of that is cost. They needn’t pay to develop yet another OS variant, and instead benefit off of the open source community and their past contributions to said community.
They wouldn't really need to develop a variant. Plenty of people used to run servers on macOS just configured to be headless. It just doesn't meet the standard anymore.
And they used to have the XServe line of servers and storage. I used XServe RAID storage as inexpensive JBODs for some Sun servers a decade ago, they were quite nice machines.
