Their versioning is unnecessarily confusing. Why call it version 4 and then when you run --version it shows a different version?

  $ ansible --version
  ansible [core 2.11.0]

  $ python -c 'from ansible_collections.ansible_release import ansible_version; print(ansible_version)'
  4.0.0

Because after Ansible 2.9 they made a huge change in how module resolution works and put most of the modules in a separate repository to be versioned independently.
