iOS doesn't use Linux and on Android userspace doesn't actually see it.

So it is meaningless.

There's more than one Android userspace.

Which isn't fully POSIX, breaks down with every Android release that clamps down security, and most of it is just plain ISO C, ISO C++ and OpenGL, hardly Linux specific.

True for iOS that it isn’t based on Linux. But iOS is based on MacOS and MacOS is real certified Unix.

None of them have anything to do with Linux, given that I was replying about "Linux desktop" here.

Second, iOS being based on UNIX hardly matters, no one is doing shell scripts and writing UNIX daemons on it.

Thirdly, no one was talking about macOS on that comment,.

Finally, even if you want to bring macOS into the picture, while macOS is a proper UNIX, what matters for Apple community developers lives in C++, Objective-C and Swift libraries, hardly POSIX related.
