I was just discussing this with a friend, I have no clue these days what iOS or macOS version is the latest. I guess this does help but it feels like a Windows 8 to 10 jump in steroids
That jump at least had a reason, as a bunch of older software checked if they were running on windows 95 or 98 by checking for “windows 9”.
And what it actually feels like is the jump from windows 3.1 to 95. Because it’s literally the same one.
Win 10 and 11 do also use something like this, though it’s more hidden as it’s the update numbers - they were yearmonth (1507, 1709) and are now yearhalfofyear - 20H1, 21H2.

what would you have them do? anything else would be just as arbitrary.
