Amazing when Steve announced the transition to Intel, he also mentioned the transition to Mac OS X and how that should set up up for at least the next 20 years... That was almost 20 years ago... I can see a new OS for Mac soon that maybe brings OSX even closer to iOS?

You're a little confused. Those were two very separate transitions. Mac OS X came out in 2001. Intel Macs came out in 2006.

In his announcement of Intel transition he referred back to the change from OS 9 to X and how it would be good for the next 20 years...

That's Big Sur. It's actually versioned as Mac OS 11 and brings macOS much closer to iOS in terms of feel and looks.
