Official Unix certification may matter at workplaces and institutions where such certifications are required for meeting some type of compliance criteria. For example, if I remember correctly, early versions of Windows NT had a POSIX compatibility layer, which was crucial for getting Windows NT accepted by some US government agencies.

Still, I hope Apple resurrects their server line… hardware and software. It’d be nice to have a server oriented UNIX running on Apple Silicon without resorting to Linux.

OpenBSD works on Apple silicon, has done for the last few releases.
