You’re missing the BSD layer (I don’t think osX technically qualifies as BSD anymore)
I don't know about BSD specifically but the current release is still Unix 03 compliant and it's still built on top of Darwin
What I mean is that Apple does tons of interesting, bespoke stuff with their drivers and low-level OS code that you simply can’t feasibly accomplish unless you’re completely vertically integrated from silicon to software.
