> If more developers cared about versioning their software appropriately based on incompatible changes or stability guarantees

But they don't. And you're not going to be able to make them. And even if you did, people would disagree about what constitutes compatibility, stability, and engineering disciplin. One man's "breaking change" is another man's "that was an implementation detail". It's not possible to get this right, since first you need to define "right". That's why versioning is folly.
