What's wrong with solving problems the unix guys already solved decades ago, and doing so less elegantly?
Which makes sense, this is an article for people on Apple hardware (judging by the installation instructions), so no interest in keeping things "the unix way of doing things"
I'd argue that Linux is more Unixy than macOS in terms of philosophy though, I remember reading that Dennis Ritchie considered Linux as much of a Unix as the other offerings on the market at the time which were the BSDs and commercial Unix variants; his opinion is obviously worth thousands of mine!
