Emacs is not a native Unix program.

It originated as a library of functions written in an enhanced TECO for the
PDP-10 that ran under ITS (MIT), TENEX (BBN), and TOPS-20 (TENEX with the
serial numbers filed off by DEC).

It was ported to an MIT dialect of LISP running under Multics, then versions
for the MIT inspired Lisp machines came along.

The C ports (including GNU) hark back to these Lisp versions.

So there's no reason to expect Emacs to be a Unix style program.
