I agree that the certification is meaningless. If it were that important to people, the many UNIX variants through the 90s and 2000s would have sold machines.

In reality, people enjoy convenience, simplicity and intuitive design a lot more than they do a terminal with lots of complicated commands. Both as rock-solid nowadays, so there is no reason to opt for the one which can apparently run servers for decades. -- CrudeSausage MacBook Air M4
