For marketing reasons (as some don't know about roman numerals), Apple writes it like this OS X 10.9 or now OS X 10.10 or OS X Yosemite (instead of Mac OS X.10 or Mac OS 10.10).
I think printing it as "OS X 10.10" is just a shorthand for "OS X (10.10)", which is necessary since combining roman numerals and digits (i.e. 'OS X.10') is awkward. You would still say it as "Oh ess ten point ten."
