iOS and tvOS are derivatives of macOS, so the iphone/ipad/apple tv all
run sort-of-BSD. I'm not as sure about watchOS, but I believe it's an
iOS variant. So yes, you can have Unix running on your watch.

IMO:
1) It kinda did catch on, in the form of macOS, but there was a time
when it was nearly dead as the major vendors moved to System V. For
some reason, Sun was the last major vendor to make the move, but they
caught most of the flack.
And for what it's worth, the iPhone. IIRC, a nephew once showed me a
bash prompt on his iPhone and some nifty tricks he was teaching
himself with it.
