You're allowed to fix bugs introduced by new releases, you know. It's called a patch release?

Is your claim that a release which introduces bad algorithmic complexity requires a major release to fix in semver? Who thinks this?

Right. Theres a difference between, “oh no, sorry, WE should fix that in the next patch” vs, “oh no, sorry, YOU should accommodate this incompatibility with a change on your side.”
