What's wrong with version 48.0.0? Be it 73838.0.0. That's OK. What's wrong with a fixed 0 at the end? If your kind of software doesn't have a reason to release a path or a minor change, well, then that's OK.

Versioning is for machines and developers. Versioning is the way to communicate the scope of change. Tools rely on it. The ideal package manager should reject non-major releases that have breaking changes.

Softwares that don't respect Semver actually don't respect the developers that use them.

End users don't care about the version of your product (even if they are developers). Fast, what's your current Chrome or Firefox versions? (Hint: greater than 48)
