I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn't know we already passed 4%.

UNIX != open source.

In fact, most flavours have historically been commercial and proprietary.

    It's built on top of BSD, which is opensource.

    You responded to “macOS is UNIX” with “it’s not open source”. I’m just illustrating how these 2 things are not correlated.

    In any case, macOS is based on OpenBSD. Even the original BSD, which OpenBSD is based on, was not initially open source.

    Everything you said was a straw man.
