Wasn't the entire point of not using "Windows 9" branding and instead going straight to "Windows 10" from 8 that they didn't want the last version of Windows to be 9, that they preferred a nice round number.

No. The point was they didn't want issues from badly written software that used a "windows 9*" string to check for 95/98

nope. 9 is just an unlucky number and lower than competing OS at the time
