It kinda felt like you were gonna break into song about the Year of the BSD Desktop for a second there!

macOS is BSD-based—so technically that’s been true for about 22 years

Originally but afaik they rewrote basically the whole OS over the years and nothing of the original BSD remains. That's what I heard but I never verified.

Look into Darwin BSD and the Mach kernel. Still alive and kicking.

It's barely recognizable if you look at it as BSD. People like to say that ChromeOS is not "acktually" Linux, but MacOS is waaayyyyy further from BSD than ChromeOS is to Linux.
