Mac OS is its own operating system with its own kernel. It's neither Linux nor BSD.

If you want to see how much different they are, have a look at

"Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach"

Since then, has macOS become even further away from BSD, with its own Network stack, XPC, SIP and many other architecture changes.

It’s a certified UNIX, which Linux & BSD are clones of (UNIX).

this is taking the post USL vs BSD legalized definition of unix, which, w/r/t history, is revisionist.

following the lineage and where active development happened at the time (80s/early 90s), one can easily make the case that BSD is unix.
