Sure, but there were reasons that SysV, AIX, Solaris, HPUX etc. didn't

Less excuse, but the practical matter is that the differences do exist.
If you're a hobbyist, pick your fave and learn it. If you're a
professional in the field, you still need to learn as many of them as
possible. C'est la vie.
Well, yeah... It's a good deal for consultants that make their living
from things that are more complicated than necessary. Or people who
keep writing basically the same books with the new way to do the same
thing. But a waste of time for everyone else.
