Microsoft Windows XP was released to retail on October 25, 2001.
Extended support for Microsoft Windows XP ended on April 8, 2014.
~13 years after its release
Back then, in 2014, 13 years after its release, Windows XP still had a big market share according to for example this page from 2014 https://sourcedigit.com/6553-windows-xp-will-die-april-8-201...
Regardless. All I am saying is, there is no reason to try and insist that marketing name should encode version release date.
If you want to compare versions, use the version numbers and compare those. That's what the version numbers are for.
Frankly, that's not a problem. They have 26 letters to go through, so that's 13 years.
