Well, consider that you have not paid anything for these packages, can you complain that authors do not follow the semver?

If you want to protect yourself and upgrade reliably - there are tools, like my https://github.com/bahmutov/next-update - runs your tests and only keeps upgrades that don't break stuff.

Nope, you are a 100% correct. That's why I made sure I praised/thanked the author/contributors for their work on the project and suggested to them how fix the issue.

Thanks for the library.

Seems like the author's coworkers didn't follow semver, a feature/method was added in a minor release, they should have bumped the minor/minimum when bumping... locking to x.x.* is the new npm default iirc.
