Didn't Linux add an option to keep reporting itself as version 2.x after the eventual change to version 3?

Yes - the UNAME26 personality flag. On my Fedora 34 laptop, I can switch with either setarch or uname26: 


$ uname -r
5.16.7-100.fc34.x86_64

$ setarch --uname-2.6 uname -r
2.6.76-100.fc34.x86_64

$ uname26 uname -r
2.6.76-100.fc34.x86_64
