I mean, by that logic, the remake of a movie is not a new movie, just an updated old movie. But tell that to the umpteen spidermans and the Hulks and Batmans.. Fairly confident you'd get that they're new movies.
Movies are not really comparable to software.

You can completely refactor and change the design of a piece of software and designate it a new version and it is still considered the SAME program.

I don't see anyone claiming the Windows OS is only 2 years old because that's when version 8 was released. It's not tough. It's a well-established principle.
