No, it hasn't. Or perhaps I should say it really isn't around anymore.
It came out in 1981 and pretty much died with Windows 95. So it had a
run of 14 years which isn't bad. But Unix is at around 36 years and
counting. I don't know anyone who runs DOS and I haven't seen it on
store shelves in many years. It's dead for all practical purposes.
Because it wasn't very good. Unix was around before DOS and it will
remain around long after.
Yes, it has / is. I recently bought a large capacity hard drive and the
software provided on the CD-ROM to partition / format the drive was
loaded with DOS as an option for buyers not running Windows. There was a
program version on the CD-ROM for Windows XP with the DOS program for
everybody else.
