Repeat after me: "X is not UNIX.  X is not UNIX.  X is not UNIX"

You can run a UNIX system without X, as you well know.  You can run X on
top of things other than UNIX (Windows, for example).  You can run a UNIX
system with a GUI environment other than X.  Apple have produced such a
beast, which they clearly believe to be better than X.  You'd have to ask
them why they think that.
