Then why not Windows 11? These guys are just not ambitious enough.
I imagine it did play some role but as a child comment notes, the regex checks for Windows 9\d* in order to capture both 95 and 98 in a few languages that exposed versions like that probably played a much larger role. Accommodations that were made for those incredibly old systems could very easily have caused some big problems if they matched on Windows 9.

Ya, "Our OS goes to 11, you see... a typical OS can only go to 10. Our OS rocks that much harder"
They already had Windows 2000 ...
