Possibly the original design of UNIX was a single user system (since it ran on an otherwise little-used computer), but version 2 was a time-sharing system. Back then, you didn't expect a single user to have a computer.

It's true that UNIX wasn't design for a public network. On the other hand, the public network was designed for UNIX, which is just as good.
