To add to this here is a Twitter/X thread that the developer of SDR++ has
put out, regarding the issues he's seeing with this major version number
change.

Hi, I just saw that the major version number was
recently bumped on the
osmocom rtl-sdr.
Unfortunately this seems to be causing upgrade problems because if a user
updates the drivers to the new major version number (eg to get Blog V4
support), the soname is now different, and this means that all previously
installed software that uses librtlsdr will need to be recompiled from
scratch, and software from the package manager will simply be broken.
I'm not sure if the recent changes warrant a major version change and the
problems that come with it?
