BTC and BCH, for example, are working constantly to find a perfect implementation that always does exactly what they want it to do. This is why they fail.
BSV has flexibility which allows economic actors to flex the implementation to their needs.

Thoughts on the presence of a "version" byte built into the original design?

Not sure what you mean. Can you clarify?
The encoding of bitcoin transactions starts with a "version" byte. What do you think it's for?
That's a good question! I'm not sure, so I could only speculate!
Typically version bytes are used for forward-compatibility when new versions of something are added :]
