Who cares about posix? It's not the 2000's anymore. Solaris is dead. HP-UX is dead. Were you worried that someday you might have to port your shell script to AIX?
GNU and Linux won. The only BSD environment is macOS, and if you put GNU on macOS, then the only thing I can think of that's worth a mention is alpine and busybox containers, but at that point it feels like we're just grasping at straws.

Well, I do :) That's why I said I was only speaking for myself.
As long as we have a rich variety of free and open source software to choose from, I think we've all won.
