Modern macOS still has classic Mac OS code in it dating as far back, and has added Objective C and Swift abstractions on top.
That surprises me; I assumed they dropped the last pre-Darwin code when they discontinued the classic environment. What remains that's that old?

Yes but mostly not. Modern MacOS is based off of NeXTSTEP OS from the NeXT acquisition, not classic.
