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

That said, this is some serious wizardry. I wish I had one of these to play with.

That’s anachronistic. For example you’d say macOS Tahoe but Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS 9.1.

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.

Apple’s own style guide says to use the name of the appropriate release: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/applestyleguide/apsg72...

The HN story autoformatter changes titlecase on well known terms, which I'm betting is what happened here.

Yeah, I assumed as well.

Yeah, but then you have about 5 minutes time to change it to whatever what you want.

This is correct, and interestingly enough in one of the screenshots, the OpenFirmware prompt says "To continue booting the MacOS" too.

Correct, in the blog post it is about Mac OS.
