It's arguable that UNIX was still a poor choice for the underlying OS, but I'm sure it was orders of magnitude cheaper than writing a completely new OS, which Apple probably could not afford. Anyway, obviously if you add enough code to an operating system, you can make it usable for just about any purpose--and that's what Apple did. (See my previous comments on throwing hardware at a problem and "tweaking" the OS ... same principle.)
