I rather think of it as a stripped down version of a Xerox PARC workstation.

With exception of SGI and NeXT, UNIX never had a multimedia culture.

That sounds right. Also PARC had Cedar, which did multitasking without memory protection, which Unix didn't usually at the time.

BTW, I'm curious what you think about the question I asked in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22083468
