It's not really stupid. Even Linux versioning doesn't mean anything. Linux 6.0 isn't a bigger change than Linux 5.19. It actually feels more like a corporate thing that it is easier for them to have a consistent versioning increase and consistent release schedule. Major changes don't need to be tied to a major change in number because, how do you decide what a major and minor change is? Do you need to group up changes and make the user wait so it becomes a new major version? Google also experienced fragmentation with Android in the past and likely wanted to avoid it. Because if you tie up specific stuff to specific browser versions, some people would want to keep a specific major browser version causing fragmentation. You can just dictate a specific end date of a feature support rather than a browser number to avoid fragmentation.
linus has specifically said that he increments the major number when he runs out of fingers and toes for the minor one
Didn't used to be that way though. Of course software was less mature then. They where on version 2 I think forevwe.
They were on 2.6 between 2003 and 2011, ending on version 2.6.39.4.
If you want to include all of version 2, you are going back to 1996.
