I think that Windows 11 is just a name and even if they hadn't named it that we would have gotten the same features as an update in Windows 10. Windows 11 is nothing more than an update. And Windows 12 probably won't be much different. Increasing the number version of Windows looks much better to the average user.

Makes you wonder if they're going to just start implementing the version number on every update, sorta like Chrome does these days. Will we see another Windows 95 eventually?

Well Windows 95 was 1995 and then we had (98,) 2000 so I imagine yes, we'll probably have Windows 95 followed by Windows (98) 3000!
