There is no universal standard for software versioning - every developer does it differently (whether it's big devs like Microsoft and Apple and Google, AAA game devs, or little independent devs like those on here, each has their own system). So it's not really that anyone is 'misusing' it, there just isn't an agreed upon "correct" way, which does lead to confusion at times.(though they are sometimes misused in that way).
