> there are many reasons to at least specify a minimum version

Yes, but I think your proposal would encourage people to pin to the latest
version as a minimum, which would be unfortunate.

I like the maxim:
“don’t pin a version unless you have a good reason, and you’ve thought
about what version to pin to.”
Once you’ve done that — the formatting of the version string is a light
lift.
