A comment on Apple has stopped providing standalone installers for macOS updates. Parent comment
Apple was always been like that, they just used their newly NeXTSTEP based OS to sell themselves to the UNIX crowd as a question of survival.
Copland didn't had anything UNIX related, and BeOS just had some kind of minimal POSIX support, as it wasn't their goal to be a UNIX clone anyway.
Copland having been a success, or going BeOS instead, are two possible not taken paths that would have given a very different outcome.
