Parts of it are. The kernel is derived from a Mach microkernel (an experimental kernel in the 80s, which was theoretically supposed to allow different OS personalities to coexist in the same system, sharing resources; macOS’ Darwin/XNU kernel doesn’t implement this capability in full, but you do get the Mach Ports interprocess communication mechanism, and a BSD UNIX personality permanently attached).
Really? They might use some GNU programs, but I’m sure the default user land for OpenBSD is all theirs. Just because you know cp etc. as GNU utils doesn’t mean the BSDs use the same ones. They are just part of the operating system. https://github.com/dcantrell/bsdutils tried to collect various BSD implementations for example
Shouldn’t it then be the Linux triplets? Linux, OpenBSD and macOS?
macOS is the bastard evil child given for adoption that no one in the family will ever acknowledge.
So Wario, then? Maybe that makes Android Waluigi.
If macos is Wario, surely iOS is waluigi?
I’d say it’s more like Toad. Overly simplified, weirdly smooth and shiny.
Also, macOS is derived from FreeBSD.
It’s derived from BSD 4.3, which predates and is one of the ancestors of FreeBSD

They’re not Linux though?
BSD/openBSD ain’t either.
I’m sorry you feel that way about fish Linux
That’s the joke.
They can, and often do, use GNU tools and binaries underneath.
