OsX is as much a UNIX flavor as we are basically primates.

BSD split in 75 from UNIX and NEXTSTEP in 86 from BSD.

don't know why, but AFAIK the MacOS is not suited for multiple concurrent user 
sessions.

Windows only is because the brought in the DEC people in the late 80es to 
create what was then known as Windows NT.
Multi-User capabilities were there from the start, the underlying architecture 
coming form OS/2.

All ancient history now.
