OS X was never an X it was a roman numeral 10 and when used on its own it was mostly serif.

Pretty sure apples own presentations used “OS Ten” not “OS Ecks”

But users definitely said “OS Ecks” and “iPhone Ecks”. Using X to represent 10 is a branding disaster. Doesn’t matter if you get it straight in your keynote that only nerds watch.
