What is the reason for not releasing a v1 after so many years?

Checkout ZeroVer: 0-based Versioning https://0ver.org/
This sounds like the unofficial versioning scheme of most Rust libraries. That and 2 years old libraries that are at 18.3.5 or something.
Is this a joke or did they just forget to provide a justification for _why_ 0ver should be used?
Probably psychological: major version change equals in people's minds to some marketing event/website announcement, developers/users meeting etc. Which is not how semver was designed. For this kind of event developers should reserve subname, like macOS Mojave, Monterey etc.
you don't simply skip v0.69 ... hehe
