UNIX philosophy is a cargo cult worshiped by FOSS followers that never worked with commercial UNIX vendors, or ever bothered reading GNU man pages end to end.

From those commercial vendors, I have worked with Xenix, DG/UX, Solaris, Aix, HP-UX, Tru64.

None of them ever cared about being philosophers.
