Stupid question: why call it 2K24 instead of 2024? It's the same amount of characters...

The company is called 2K. Also, it is their "brand" since forever e.g. 2K5 for the 2005 one

It also distinguishes them from EA's sports titles. Or at least, it did, when they both made games for the same sports.
