It was never done such for Bitcoin.
Are you daft? Look at the list of releases:
https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/. You see all those 0.x.1, 0.x.2, and 0.x.3 releases? Those are minor releases, in the same way 22.1 and 23.1 are minor releases.
So the there is real base for concerns some users about full RBF feature that developers decided to basically continue to work on older releases?
No, there is no such concern. There were already plans to do 22.1 and 23.1 before that controversy started.
Standard practice was to release 2.0 version after 1.x is abandoned
A lot of projects maintain older major versions. Like the Linux kernel as I mentioned.
I remember Bitcoin always had 0.xx.x versioning schema until someone dropped zero from front and we arrived from pre-1.0 versions to version 22 overnight. If this is not Firefox then what?
It was dropped because the 0 wasn't doing anything useful. 0.x releases were referred to as major releases and the x the major version number. The change was to make those two concepts align. It has nothing to do with trying to inflate version numbers. No one gives a shit about that.
