Interestingly enough Mac OS X is a Unix because it was based on BSD.

MacOS: BSD for Losers.
Seriously, Apple’s operating systems are so lazily knocked off of BSD, they still suffer from Unix Epoch integer underflow problems. That hasn’t been a problem for any other Unix-likes I’m aware of in over 15 years. The ones that still count up from the UE either handle the underflow problem gracefully, or at least tell you to don’t do that. The rest have figured out cleverer ways to tell time.
Anyway, I have to agree with this statement, though mostly for other reasons than stated. Plenty of webhosting companies also offer domain registry, but you’ll pay more for both services than if you just registered your domain with one company and hosted on another. Not to mention doing it that way gives you a lot more flexibility for how to deploy your site- many domain registrar webhosts are in the business of running simple website hosting only, which works for a lot of people, but your site may have requirements beyond the scope of their hosting offering, in which case it makes even more sense to set up the website on a dedicated compute instance, rather than just one of your registrar’s spare Apache workers.
And linux is not in that list becaus Linus does not want to shell out a couple +25k a year for a produce he does not “sell”
That and Linux is not an Operating System but a kernel. 
true. Which makes one wonder if they could use the linux Kernel with Plan9 or BSD instead?
