Unix was a son of its age. Computer operators were more skilled in the 70's. The concept of piping results from a program to another one was kind of revolutionary.
Nowadays that doesn't hold true and Unix-like systems are meant for end users. You can ask millions of Android/iOS/mac/chromebook users.
What happens to "Linux" as we know it is the lack of multi-zillion companies pushing money to its Desktop experience.
