If they switched to the current year at time of release, there would be 6+ months each year where the current version represents the previous calendar year, making it seem outdated. It’s not marketing fluff, it is maximizing the amount of time out of each year that the year matches the current version number, given that macOS releases are in the second half of the year and not on 1 January. Doing it with version = release year would mean more days each year where the year != version. Why are strategic decisions like this always interpreted in the most superficial ways? Apple does scumbag shit frequently (monopolistic anticompetitive practices, walled garden price gouging, illegal wage fixing) but this isn’t that. It’s just math.
