I don't know but I suspect:

1) If 'twere that easy, Mac would have just sold their Unix product
for the Mac and not dumped their Mac user base like a rented mule.

2) Failing that, Mac users would be buying the Unix version of
FrameMaker and not signing "bring-it-back" petitions.

Just guesses, tho'.
