It didn't make Unix a success, it made Unix a punch-card-and-tape batch processing simulator in the same way the Mac was a paper pushing simulator.
What made Unix a success is a great mystery to me. Presumably it was the ability to run a time-sharing system on low-cost hardware, but then people started taking the tradeoffs it had to make as gospel, which is why we have this ridiculous situation of still wrangling processes on computers with 64 bit bloody address spaces.)
