Small correction: AFAIK, the original Unix design goal was to run telco
switches, and it did that a lot for a long time in big numbers. I don't
know why exactly it became popular at universities (probable a combination
between a port to the popular PDP machine, source availability, and the
fact that Unix had the 'by hackers, for hackers' feel), but I'm quite sure
it was not the design goal.

Building software is like quantum mechanics: you can predict what it
will do, or when it will be ready -- but not both.
