The programs causing the problem are reading the version name string, not the version number.
Examples: https://searchcode.com/?q=if%28version%2Cstartswith%28%22windows+9%22%29
But then Microsoft could just have set the new version string to "Windows9" or "Windows_9" or "Windows-9" or "Windows.9" or "Windows nine", etc., without messing with the official product name.
I don't buy this was the issue.
