For one thing, it is a real UNIX in terms of lineage and not a clone.

Just why is being a "real" UNIX that important?

It is not at all important. Just ignore everyone who tries to lead you down that lane.

The overall culture among the OS users, developers and the respective architecture design decisions.

Personally, I don't care that much.

With time I became increasingly interested in the Xerox PARC world and how much better our current developer experience could have been if those systems had won the market instead of AT&T ones.
