Yes.... I'm quite bothered by that.   As far as I'm concerned  "Router
OS"  refers to whatever operating system drives a router.

Just like "Computer OS"  is not referring to a specific piece of
software,  but it's a description of a software's role within a
system.

To suggest "Router OS"  refers to a specific product,  is like
suggesting  "Bottled Water"  refers to  a specific brand of packaged
liquid.
