It makes sense. Version numbers should be intuitive. Constantly changing software should update by whole numbers, so that the more it has changed, the more the number is different. Whereas "3.11" seems almost identical to "3.86" because they're both based on 3.
Although I would argue that it should change by 0.5 per feature or something like that, so that if it has 10 new features the version number will be 5 higher, but only 2 new features will be 1 higher. Because Java has changed very little from 8 to 12, whereas Firefox's last 4 changes were altogether bigger.
