This is punishingly stupid. If you are working on a large enough project (many libraries, many developers, many organizations, daily or nightly builds because it takes 4 hours to run all the unit tests even in parallel due to dependencies) you use semantic versioning. If you're some pissant shop writing CRUD apps then yeah, don't bother. As soon as you outgrow that stage, there won't be any more questions. Monolithic standalone apps or tiny projects don't need semver. Practically all collaborative software in between benefits massively from it.
