The release cycle is absolutely nothing to do with chasing version numbers.

It's about being able to ship new features when they are ready, instead of waiting for a 'major' new version.

This release cycle makes the most sense for 'evergreen' software like a web browser. There's a reason why every major browser has adopted it.

The only version that matters for a web browser is the 'latest' version.
