There is one simple reason for this behaviour. If they changed the version
number with each bug they fixed, we would see Turbo C Version 56 real soon
now :-)
Seriously, people would insist on getting the latest version, of course.
Borland would be forced to send an update to their dealers for every copy
they sent them (or the dealers go mad). They would have some additional
costs doing that.

By the way, which is the latest version (date/time stamp) of Turbo C. Could
you email your numbers directly to me?
