Why skip 95 and put a blank in for 9. Windows 95/98 are the reason why there is no windows 9. Far too many lazy programmers make software and drivers that abbreviated to windows9 because there were two versions. Still nice try, I guess.
Because the omission is notable and funny, even if they had their reasons
I've noticed a trend that as I understand more, some things become more funny but most things become less funny. I think it's because counterintuitiveness is funny but when understanding increases, the exposed complexity becomes more intuitive.
