Is there any indication that the numbering change reflects a significant technical shift (eg preparing to target ARM specifically)? Or is this just aesthetics?

Someone just got tired of writing "10." in the marketing team, also they'll be able to have a versioning more like iOS which macOS copies already much in 11.x

20 years from now:
Introducing macOS 9000000.13.0 Pro Platinum.
Now with a more emphatic, less mercurial, less violent, and less passive-aggressive AI because each device contains 47% more genetically-engineered neurons. Each device is guaranteed to be personally-imprinted and infatuated with only you and do everything you need it to do.
At what point do version numbers become meaningless? Why not just rolling releases with a major number and a patch number? Or if the goal is to make it seem like fewer releases are happening, why not 4 components?
macOS Catalina
