Even when using semver it just means that there were never any major breaking changes. React is also still 0.x :)

It moved away from 0.x around 6 years ago

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases

React Native is still 0.x, since 2015!

Oh, heck, you are right! I mixed up react and react native.

Interestingly, being `0.y.z` as a major released version (e.g. not in development or a release candidate) does seem to break semver[1], but I do realize it's more of a guideline and no one really cares:

> Major version X (X.y.z | X > 0) MUST be incremented if any backwards incompatible changes are introduced to the public API. It MAY also include minor and patch level changes. Patch and minor versions MUST be reset to 0 when major version is incremented.

For versions < 1.0.0 this does not apply:

> Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
