I completely agree. The Ethereum developers coined the web3 term very early and so far I feel it's inappropriate to use it, because Ethereum hasn't delivered on its promise to be "the next web", yet.
However with Jack coining the term web5 (and skipping web4) the name has become completely nonsensical. I'm not sure if this was the intention, but yeah, who would now want to name a new technology web4 or web6? So maybe the best thing web5 has already brought us was to kill these controversial names for good.
Now it might come to you as a surprise (at least it was for me), but Jack's web5 technology is actually based on W3C standards, e.g. DID - and it is not just a proposal, it already has the "Recommended" status. So web5 might actually be the future of the web despite its clickbait name.
