I'm halfway convinced that they have made subsequent versions v1.1, v1.2, and v1.3 in an outrageously stubborn refusal to admit that they were objectively incorrect to reset the version number.
As I noted below, there was real discussion around the version number for TLS 1.3. I don't recall any such discussion for 1.1 and 1.2.
