So consider what happens when you try to learn Flask in a world like the one you describe. You pip install Flask, and you get 3.0. Next chapter asks you to install Flask-Login, and now you are forced to downgrade Flask. What you are saying makes sense when there are important reasons to break compatiblity. But I expect the Flask side to love their users a bit more and not break their code for trivial reasons. |

This is a bit like a No True Scotsman argument. It says that there are reasons for what happened but they didn't have a Good Reason. Why are their reasons so particularly trivial?

This seems moot if the Flask maintainers are using semantic versioning correctly. I'd probably look into it and think that Flask-Login maintainers should have limited their Flask version if they were going to step away from maintenance. If someone else wants to pick it up they can fork it or try to get in touch with the old maintainers to get access to the central repo.
