Sometimes vendors do not use POSIX userspace altogether by providing big-proprietary-init blob (LG TVs do), but that's irrelevant to Busybox vs Toybox debate.

I do know that a lot of manufacturers use Vxworks instead of Linux for embedded systems, I'm not sure what they use for userland though

vxWorks doesn't really have a userland. However, they do implement certain POSIX APIs and those are all homegrown.
