Question: Does the build number always increment no matter the version or does the build number resets to 1 for every new version? (self.programming)

That is 100% up to every team to decide. Version numbering is completely arbitrary.

I wish. Sadly the google play store requires monotonically increasing build numbers, so any option of resetting build numbers after major releases goes out the window.

Do Google engineers get off on writing software that's only compatible within their own little world, then offering it as some de facto standard?

Google Cloud had a ton of these that make it arbitrarily hard to use.
