Intellectually curious people with even a mild interest in the history of computing.

Intellectually prudent people may note that macOS's status as "Unix" depended on temporary waivers and insane, unattainable OS modifications.

There's probably a high-nines percentage of Mac owners that have never configured their Mac to be Unix compliant, and never will.

  • None of that is relevant to the point. Historical curiosity does not concern itself with practicality.
