My understanding is you can have multiple *future versions* with records
in ITC.
CFBundleShortVersionString is then read to determine which record with
which to associate the uploaded build.
If you didn't specify the version in ITC records, then any new version
number in an uploaded build (including typos and other sorts of
unintended changes) would have to generate a new ITC record.
Apple appears to prefer ITC records be explicitly created, which to me
doesn't seem unreasonable, and would require that the version be
specified at record creation.
They then make it editable because sometimes it is desirable to change
the version number of an upcoming release (eg when scope has expanded to
the point that a point release is now more of a full version upgrade).
So ultimately I think it's about controlling the proliferation of ITC
version records.
