You don't know how version numbers work, do you? 10.1 and 10.10 are not the same numbers because they aren't decimals.If we’re being extremely technical, after 10.10 Yosemite, they started to make less and less sense. 10.1 and 10.10 are the exact same number. Obviously, puma and Yosemite are two different operating systems, but I think you get my point. 10.15, which was Catalina, is actually a smaller number than 10.2 jaguar was. So Apple attempting to get away from that confusing mess is something that I appreciate.
You know that the next number after '11' is '12', right?so that means we'll be getting macOS 13 next year
