We already spell it macOS in our tree, so we might as well do it on the
website too, to avoid confusion. Marketing spin or not, I think this
spelling is harmless, FWIW.

Modernize usage of 'macOS' in doc and comments
Apple changed the spelling of its operating system again, to "macOS",
effective with macOS 10.12 Sierra (2016-09-20). Change Emacs
documentation and comments to match this. Stick with older OS
spellings ("OS X", "Mac OS X") when talking about older releases where
the older names are more correct.
