This, but unironically used as a marketing trick:

There was no v1 of Oracle Database, as co-founder Larry Ellison "knew no one would want to buy version 1"

That's why the first Oracle database is v2.

this is what happened to windows 9, too.

No, the problem with Windows 9 is that a lot of things compared the version with 9* as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.

What’s wrong with 9 though ? Didn’t iPhone also skip 9 ?

After the X/XS/XR phones they went to the 11. If the XS was 10 then the X would be 9. It is a bit weird for them to do 8 and 9 at the same time, though.

but the X is a Roman numeral hence why Apple demands that OSX be pronounced as "OS ten"

(I have not heard anyone who is not an Apple employee call it that but it's the official stance, you can look it up)

Slackware went from version 4 to 7 for a similar reason. But IIRC its reason was RedHat.
