Why can't Unix be a "modern" OS with dynamically allocated

Because if you want that kind of flexibility, you're expected to
provide it yourself, using your knowledge of what will be the best
and most scalable use of available computer resources.
That means use a library or use another OS feature, like the pipes
already mentioned. You could also use UDP sockets and send datagrams
on lo0 (localhost loopback). You can also create Unix-domain sockets
(essentially, sockets whose name is a file-system path), and use those.
If you're only thinking in terms of signals and signal-handlers, you
should broaden your view of what the OS provides and how it can be
used. There are questions of latency, throughput, scale, etc. that
only you can answer for your application, and then choose the most
suitable representation. One size does not fit all.
