As Daniel said, they're retroactively calling all versions macOS. I'm
sure you can still find "OS X" in places, but that's just because they
haven't been thorough about updating everything.

As I wrote in commit da6c4f6ca88d:

We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS
"OS X" or "Mac OS X", and the former is probably confusing to
people who aren't Apple users. Now that Apple has rebranded it
"macOS", follow their lead to establish a consistent naming
pattern.

I think "macOS" is just better all-around for our purposes, and we should
be grateful for the opportunity to change our documentation.
