The Xerox systems were more modern and demanding than UNIX, for their time.

For their time, sure.

But that doesn't help with today's devices. Even $10 boards are multicore now and come with hundreds megs of RAM.

At least in garbage collected OS design, the lessons from 1970's and 1980's are interesting, but do not directly apply to modern systems.
