You and I have a very different version of what the equals sign means. "This is a reasonable action to take in this scenario" is not what I understand as equivalence.

Perhaps I should have used an implication sign -> instead of an equals.

Semver says “major version MUST be incremented if any backward incompatible changes are introduced to the public API.” You’re correct that it doesn’t say “major version MUST NOT be incremented if there are no backward incompatible changes”, so technically that is possible — but it would be a very odd thing to do.
