I don't see how that's incongruent. It says many early Unix variants never became popular, not all early Unix variants.

My point is that if they’re talking specifically about SVR4, then it was popular. And if they’re not talking specifically about SVR4, then it’s not “early Unix”.

As I said, I’m not trying to claim that they’re “wrong”. Just that the whole thing is phrased poorly because it’s really not clear what their context is. And that’s easily demonstrated by the fact that we’re arguing over said context here.
