> Unix has won out

Nop, it doesn’t. Linux, which is a Unix clone, has won on some category of computers (notably servers) but most unices derivativing from the original one have a marginal market share.

> for a reason

Price mostly, and access to sources.




Mac is still certified Unix iirc, and FreeBSD powers at least Netflix, so it seems Unix proper is still sticking around.
