Eh....  I dunno.

Apple Silicon is pretty nice, though I don't know about ARM.
The obvious alternative is RISC-V, but it was not mature enough
for use in a high-end product at the time they moved away from
Intel.

Unix as the basis for an OS wasn't super innovative,
particularly when you consider that they were building on NeXT's
technology, which was already Mach+4.3BSD, and predated macOS by
a few decades.
