Apple updated its naming conventions in 2020. Previously everything was labeled OSX, similar to MacOS 10. Starting with MAC OS 10.0 Cheetah in 2001, it went through several iterations until 10.15 Catalina in 2019. Then they shifted focus to using a higher starting number, which removed the OSX reference since the versions no longer aligned with 10. Continuing this pattern, Mac OS 11 Big Sur followed, and so on, leading up to the most recently released version, MacOS 26 Tahoe.

Unknown signifies anything not explicitly mentioned, since specific market share is insufficient. For instance, different versions of BSD or OS/2. And possibly items they couldn't recognize accurately.
