Yes, they are Network Operating Systems.

" Sorry, DOS is not NOS even where two or three DOS machines are connected."

That's because you don't know what Disk Operating System [DOS] means.  Apparently, Drs. Weiss and Wirth taught me a little differently about the way their inventions [disks, the fathers of all hard drives] stored code and data, Eckert & Mauchly added the mechanism to boot from the disk, and the first Disk Operating System was born.

IBM didn't have this concept down until late in the 1970's, they were still running batch.

All of the companies you mention either didn't exist, or, they were waiting to be taught how to network, especially Digital Equipment Corporation [pdp11 on up].  Vax, if you look it up, is a clone of UniVac, see the similarities to the first network comptuer, Illiac?

The best one to handle 10,000 accounts comes from the company that first had 10,000 accounts on a network.  Whether it's their mainframe, hybrid, or microprocessor based, which is why AOL, Microsoft, and your government are still using them.

And they handle millions of accounts, perhaps more than a billion, worldwide.

Was that funny to you?

Wiki is a new kid on the block, who hasn't done any college level research work yet.
