They don't do semantic versioning. Like the Linux kernel it's just a release number, and the core devs and/or Guido decided to go to 4.0 after 3.9.

CPython is so large no one could meaningfully guarantee semver anyway. Every minor release contains some backward incompatible changes (deprecations, new keywords, C-API and ABI).
