For some years, Xenix was the dominant low-end UNIX. I think that it must have been a good business. Certainly SCO was a powerhouse in the UNIX world.
Around 10 years ago, I saw an SCO box running in the Wawa municipal offices, when I was doing some telecom work there. This was roughly around the time when they started getting nasty & stupid, claiming they owned Unix and Linux. IIRC, they also claimed to own IBM's JFS file system, even though it was developed on OS/2 and moved to AIX. They claimed that since it was installed on a Unix system, they owned it. BTW, I don't think they were claiming the original JFS, which was AIX only.
