Something like the Linux unix philosophy of doing 1 thing and doing it well comes to mind. FOSS no less.

That's the UNIX philosophy, not the Linux philosophy. That idea predates Linux by like a decade.

Apologies, but I'll also take it since Linux is a subset of Unix. But right you are, it originates there.. But is Linux the most interaction we have with Unix like OS in this day and age?

Probably. Mac is Unix like but basically all server infrastructure is running on Linux.

That's going away with people like poettering running the show.

What show?

There's a lot to dislike about systemd, and some things to like. Most big Linux distributions are using it now; in regards to this comment though, systemd is a fast executable trying to handle many core system jobs at once. Instead of Cron, openRC startup scripts, networkmanager for networking... Systemd is trying to do it all.
