Hi Anthony, etc

The reason that we continue to report Unix is for historical reasons (the
MacOSX enum value was not in the original specifications and so Mono
started out reporting Unix). We cannot start reporting MacOSX as the
PlatformID because it would break any existing applications that expect it
to return Unix.

I don't know how many apps that would break, but it is a risk that we
cannot blindly take.

Hope that helps answer why it reports Unix...
