I actually took 3 slightly different photos, all bracketed the same and on my monitor they all look the same. I'm using a 2020 MackBook Pro with a 49 Inch Sony Monitor and downloaded the jpegs from the SD card onto the MacBook and opened in Apple Photos with zero post processing. The colors look the same on the MacBook's screen and the Sony monitor. The only difference I can see is if I swap back and forth between the two color images, the over all provia darkens by a hair and that's it. I also looked at both images in Affinity Photo and Color Efex Pro and they are the same. Maybe something is wanky with the film simulation bracketing on my X100S. I'll have to play around some more.

My iPad Pro looks like on the phone. Second is definitely different BUT on my 2015 MacBook Pro I’m in fact seeing the same image colors from both. Weird.i haven’t downloaded the original only through the safari browser.

This is definitely interesting. My Panasonic GX8 and GX9 both have what Panasonic calls Photo Styles, which are similar to Film Simulations plus art filters and those work fine using my MacBook Pro to display them. This sounds like it's something unique between Fuji's film simulations and the MacBook Pro. When I had my previous X100F, X100Ts, and even the original X100, I was using a Mac mini and before that a 27" iMac. I only discovered this because the X100S doesn't have Classic Chrome, which just about all I ever used with my other Fuji cameras and I wanted to see all five X100S color film simulations to pick a something else to use with the X100S.

I'm going to take some photos switching between Provia, Velvia, and Astia and use my HMDI cable to look at them on my Sony Monitor before anything gets downloaded anywhere.
