On general principles, in the absence of any reason why we would want to depart from them, it is good to follow such conventions. The only proposed reason to write "macOS" is that Apple asks for it. Since Apple is an enemy of the GNU GPL, and an enemy of computer users' freedom generally, a request from Apple is for us no reason at all. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
