Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average.

I was kinda wondering if X was representative of 10.x releases but then it didn’t make sense to me for it to be so much higher than the newer OSs either.

Safari probably reports as “macOS“ and I bet Firefox and chrome report as “Mac OS X“
