we once said something like this and the response was something like "who cares about this so long as the number goes up when something changes" and we just kinda sit there and fume a bit
to put a bit of nuance into it, openbsd operates under a "number goes up when something changes" model, but they also have a very regimented/ritualized release procedure — and that is the thing "number-go-up versioning" misses. increasing the version number is meant to have a certain amount of gravitas to it
