#requires actually exists in v1

To be honest it doesn't really matter how the versioning is achieved, as long as there is a way to tell PowerShell that you need v1, v2, v3 or whatever, and people remember to use it it will work

Do you think that maybe they will drop the "1" eventually and just use ".PS" ?
".PS1" doesn't follow the pattern of other MS scripting language conventions.
For example .bat .cmd .vbs
Plus the number "1" is a particularly annoying character to use because it renders visually similar to the letter "l".

I guess these early design decisions will haunt us forever.
