Of course, all this is speculation without having

business sense, perhaps we can assume from this that the licensing
agreements involved are NOT standard ones, and that NeXT got rights to
the Mach kernel out of it...
Last time I checked, OSX was based mostly on BSD4.4-lite by way of FreeBSD
and
bits of NetBSD.
