If I understand things correctly, this is not entirely true. RPM generates a dependency for the soname / soversion, and some projects include not only X, but all of X.Y.Z in that, which RPM will happily generate Provides / Requires for (whether that's a nice thing to do for an upstream project or whether that's a bug in their build systems I leave as an exercise to the reader).
