I admit it's crap, but I once added a temporary fix to a system of mine that blocked clients with a user agent matching "Chrome 54" (at the string level) due to a bot (I know it's not ideal, but it worked in the moment, and genuine users were no longer using such an old version). I doubt Chrome 540 would turn up any time soon, but I can picture other folks having done similar things with "Chrome 12", say, and wondering why things fail with Chrome 120(!)
