I mean, just to be clear on what that looks like...

That'd be the red line, there. Assuming you take Statcounter numbers at face value, even.

Incidentally, how have the MacOS and OSX not converged more, speaking of end of life stuff?

Why do they even have two lines for OS X and macOS? It's the same thing.

statcounter checks user agent strings. it probably depends on the mac browser used to report the user agent string.

I know. Then they process those user agent strings to decide what OS it is. The question is why are they treating OSX and macOS as different OSes when they are the same? It was literally just a rebrand.
