I very much prefer Gregorian versioning. Also lets you instantly know whether that nice app you’ve just found mentioned somewhere is still being updated or abandoned for 5 years already.
Do you mean calendar-year-major version numbers? (ubuntu aspell-en is "2020.12.07-0-1") I like the name, but google only found this comment mentioning it :-)
One spec for such a thing is CalVer, but I flatly refuse to ever label anything as that, because they got their terminology horribly wrong, making MM be 1–12 and 0M 01–12 (and so on for each of Y, W and D too). YYYY.MM should obviously mean 2025.08, and 2025.8 should be YYYY.M.

A more common name for it is calendar versioning.

Normally just called calendar versioning
