I think a change in support for a language/runtime version should not necessarily force a major version bump.

Examples where I agree that making a version bump would be an overkill:

However, bumping a minor version in such cases makes sense.

PS. Maybe I wrongly understand what "a drop in support" means.

Even though it's a common practice to increment major versions of a package when even an EOL verision of the runtime is dropped in JS, I don't think it makes sense for API and probably SDK.
Bumping in that case would hurt interoperability and adoption immensely long term.
