All of those use parts of BSD (the network stack). They also have a POSIX sub-system. POSIX is based on UNIX.

And UNIX had great concepts, so no wonder they are used in many other OSes.

Darwin is SUS-approved, so it is UNIX by modern standards. However, it did this entirely by itself.

UNIX is how the operating system works. Linux cannot "steal" parts from UNIX because UNIX isn't an operating system in and of itself, but a set of specifications which an operating system must meet to achieve UNIX recognition.

Yes, the operating systems mentioned all take components of other operating systems or projects. That doesn't make them better or worse than another OS, and it certainly doesn't mean they "stole from UNIX." Why would it? If anything, the OS that isn't adhering to the standards that every other functional OS adheres to is the lesser operating system.

The only time they don't try to lock in the end user is when they can't. For example, they stopped trying to push so many proprietary web-standards because there are two web browsers that are objectively better than theirs. But then a few rooms over there are the Microsoft Office guys that know they have dominance and do not need to pay attention to open standards, so they implement them as much as they're required by government, which is to say they write their own open standard that is thousands of pages long and impossible for anyone else to implement correctly. And then they implement their competitors' open standards in a broken manner, the combination of which results in end users thinking the competitor's product is inferior.

>every NT-based device for the last twenty years has been relying on a reimplementation of VMS for x86 by its original author, Dave Cutler
Microsoft didn't even reinvent an existing OS for NT, they bought one outright by stealing its creator and cutting a deal with the original OS's vendor (Digital) when they got caught. Combine this with the felonious origins of DOS, and Microsoft's only OSes that were truly "home grown" were the versions of Windows that ran atop DOS - from Windows 1.0 up through Windows 98SE. Even Windows ME doesn't even count as an original OS since its "innovation" was copypasting chunks of the NT code base into 98SE and the removal of real mode (which made everything crash all the fucking time since 9x was a DOS shell at heart). The one interesting thing that NT did was amass a huge number of OS "personalities" to run atop the microkernel: Win32, Win16, DOS, OS/2, and POSIX. Every one of those except the shitty NT native API (Win32) has been removed in subsequent releases.
