Frankly, I don’t think these clowns get to decide what is and isn’t Unix.
As far as I’m concerned modern Unix is Linux, BSD and all their successors, including Apple, PlayStation and Nintendo (I believe they’re BSD based) Unix itself, is an ancient and mostly dead standard.
Although I do hope for better Linux & BSD compatibility in the future.
Linux isn’t UNIX and doesn’t even pretend to be. Rather than calling it such, I think it’s more useful to just forget about UNIX, which was a proprietary OS to begin with. Of course the owners of the trademark get to decide who gets to use it.
If you have to call Linux something other than Linux, you can always call it POSIX compliant, which it mostly is (MacOS however is actually certified here too).
