It seems to be a trend in software that has existed for a while to exponentially increase version numbers (see also: Firefox).

It's a quite linear growth, not exponential

But the first few numbers went by much more slowly, right?

Exponential would be if they kept getting quicker. They've only gotten quicker once.

I assumed that this was due to more products dropping vanity versioning in favor of semantic versioning. Is that not what's happening here?
