None of those things are at all desirable. setuid uucp? Security nightmare. strictatime? Not needed. Linux doesn't do it either.

Apple has retained the good parts of UNIX and ignored the shitty parts. In the end, it is more UNIX than Linux is.

Yeah, like a really shitty ancient version of bash. If that's what UNIX means to you, I'm not gonna yuck your yum, but what could be more UNIX like than letting license issues make life worse for your users.

Hey, at least it isn't *BSD! (Or, well...)

    bash doesn't mean UNIX, in fact UNIX means being able to chose your shell.

    macOS switched to zsh a while ago. i don’t see what that minor choice has to do with being or not being UNIX.
