Software ready for mass deployment after first point release

Hi
I was reading news and came across following title:
Quote:

Linux Kernel 5.7 Gets First Point Release, It's Now Ready for Mass Adoption

I have read such sentences many times (i.e. a software is ready for mass deployment after first point release), so this question comes to my mind that why a sofware is not ready for mass deployment after major release (5.7 in this case), but ready after first minor release (5.7.1)?
Thanks
