No it wouldn't. Nobody buys HP-UX either, and it is still around. Tru64 was killed as part of the "compaq was just a name, all their stuff was garbage" nonsense. HP-UX was (and is) worse than Tru64 in every way, and sold just as poorly, but it is still around. They kept the HP-9000 around and killed off alpha completely. It was politics, not profits.
