Sort of. For a desktop application, you are right, but for a server application like NextCloud or Jellyfin, semver or something similar can be really nice.
If I'm running ServerTool 2.2.0, and 2.2.1 is available, I immediately know that is a bugfix release and should be minimal to roll out (shouldn't have any breaking changes, data schema changes, etc).
If ServerTool 2.4.0 comes out, that means I probably need to look at the changelog to see if there are any special upgrade instructions or gotchas, however, it is probably pretty safe, and shouldn't have huge changes for users. I wouldn't expect any extensions or integrations to break either.
But if ServerTool 3.0.0 comes out, I definitely am going to test out in in a test instance and validate the upgrade. Any extensions I have probably also need to be upgraded to support the new version, so I may have to wait to deploy it. It probably also has UI/UX changes that affect my users, so there may be training that needs to happen.
Again, it really depends on the tool on what versioning system they should use.
