It’s "Mac OS", not "macOS", or even "MacOS" (which is the title on the actual page).

Pre-OS X (what actually runs in the blog post) it was Mac OS. Then, it was Mac OS X. The first version styled macOS was 10.12 Sierra in 2016.

While we are on the subject it is also worth pointing out additionally:
When saying Mac OS X, it’s pronounced Mac OS ten, not Mac OS ex.
