I very nearly agree with your playtesting assumption.I know about the WHY since I started playing Summertime Saga a couple of years ago. I was just bamboozled about the HOW, although, like you said, their "modus operandi" is being lazy about everything programming. So much in this game is really annoying, from bugs (I had to play Season 3 (the Mary update?) like 4 or 5 times to make it work properly) over the grammar (at least every second sentence has a typo. Spell check exists!) to storyparts that suddenly just disappear (do we just ignore the chest, powertool and knocking Mary unconcious stuff that happened in Season 3?)
I think they playtest it like, once, and then think:

There is no "Season 3" at this time. Simply Seasons 1-4 are encapsulated in v0.89.8. The new version convention is being reverse engineered and I doubt Uberpie has made any definitive designations of which update goes to which season.
The releases are:
v0.95.7 (Season 5) - a so-called mega update -
v0.89.8 (Seasons 1-4) which includes content for:
- v0.89.8 (mega update)
- v0.85.1 (major bugfix of v0.82.4)
- v0.82.4 (mega update)
- v0.68.2 (mega update)
- v0.47.5 (mega update)
- v0.22.0
- v0.17.0
- v0.14.3
- v0.11.2
- v0.10.5
- v0.9.2
- V0.8.1
- v0.7.1
- v0.6.1
- v0.5.1
- v0.01
- 2019 Christmas Special
- 2019 Halloween Special
Until there is actual demarcations of what each of the first four seasons are - I think it would be best to not attempt to use season head-canons as canon in the thread. Simply refer scenes by their updates if known or use the section headers in the gallery (even though v0.82.4/v0.85.1 isn't even referenced in the gallery for v0.82.4 through v0.89.8 because very little was added in terms of lewd scenes - it was mostly creating a fake sandbox environment that is still faulty and rewrites).
