Version numbers don't work that way also SE doesn't know how version numbers work.

2.16 should have been 2.1.6

2.16 > 2.2

Only if you see it as 16 > 2...
If you see it as decimal values 2.16 < 2.2 as 2.2==2.20

Version numbers don't have decimal values that's was my point. A minor release after 2.9 is 2.10. Not 3.0. A major release can happen at anytime. 3.0 can be after 2.4.

When a period is used to separate sequences, it does not represent a decimal point, and the sequences do not have positional significance. An identifier of 2.5, for instance, is not "two and a half" or "half way to version three", it is the fifth second-level revision of the second first-level revision.

I'm being a little picky. The 2.2 and 2.16 releases are named that way for the general public. I guess they expect the general public to not understand software versioning.

Actual version number is date based:

Number in brackets is likely build number.
