So basically, everybody switched from expensive UNIX™ to cheap “unix”-in-all-but-trademark-certification once it became feasible, and otherwise 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.
Mac is BSD
BSD is BSD-like
It certainly is that, yes.
BSD is based on Unix, and Linux isn’t, so it is way more Unix than Linux is.
