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

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.

Of course.
That’s anachronistic. For example you’d say macOS Tahoe but Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS 9.1.
The HN story autoformatter changes titlecase on well known terms, which I'm betting is what happened here.
Yeah, I assumed as well.
