So basically, everybody switched from expensive UNIX™ to cheap “unix”-in-all-but-trademark-certification once it became feasible, and otherwise basically nothing has changed in 30 years.
BSD was embroiled in a messy legal battle with AT&T over Unix copyright. Businesses wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole. That’s what really enabled Linux to be anything more than a hobby protect. And we’re all worse for it.

Except this time the Unix-like took 100% of the market
Was too clear this thing is just better
BSD is mostly Unix too, so even if Unix didn’t have 100% because of mac and Windows it was like 99%
BSD is more UNIX than Linux is, to be fair.
BSD is based on Unix, and Linux isn’t, so it is way more Unix than Linux is.
Mac is BSD
BSD is BSD-like
It certainly is that, yes.
