Python dot releases are significant releases. Perhaps you recall the last python integer version number change?

As a result, it will be quite some time before we see a version 4.

Programming language dot releases can tend to be significant.

Semver often means that major is the language version, and minor is the runtime version

To nitpick a little bit, Python does not follow semver and does not claim to follow semver. Minor versions are mostly backwards compatible, but do include breaking changes.

Python's versioning has been misleading ever since 3.0 shipped.

There was a heap of features added between 3.5 and 3.11, for example. Enough to make it a completely different language.
