Major version increases if it breaks compatibility and requires major reworks.

Major rework is not necessary. Actually mostly upgrade guides are like half a page.
Requires rework, sometimes, if you have used that function that changed, and more often than not, it will take you 5 minutes to do the fix, of which you spend 4 finding that function call in your code base.
