You're not distinguishing plural from possessive.

I know, but why are you doing so?


Cause we are talking about plural form of acronym but not about possesive case.
I didn't understand the meaning of your "research". Did you type in search bar "mac OS's" and "mac OSs" and compared the results?

I was checking out Jamie's intuition here "I would prefer OSs. Sometimes people might use OS's as the plural, but I think it would be relatively rare to see OSes.·"
