Why are is that stat counter splitting Macs into OS X and macOS

It’s the same OS.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 5 days ago

It's worth noting that some data reporting issues mean OS X and macOS are sometimes split, even though macOS is the newer branding for OS X. When combined, Apple's desktop presence is around 24%

I’m a Mac user and everyone in my family is too (I use a Linux desktop for work), but I have a hard time believing MacOS has a 25% market share.

Especially because the lion's share of computers are corporate/business machines.
