Comment (by mostafa.s1990):

 Maybe as a new WordPress function like:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 /**
  * Compare two versions with the option to ignore the patch version.
  *
  * @param string $version1 First version to compare.
  * @param string $version2 Second version to compare.
  * @param string $operator The comparison operator (like '>', '<=', etc.).
  * @param bool   $ignore_patch Optional. Whether to ignore the patch
 version. Default is false.
  *
  * @return bool Result of the version comparison.
  */
 function wp_version_compare($version1, $version2, $operator, $ignore_patch
 = false) {
     if ($ignore_patch) {
         // Remove the patch version (everything after the second dot) if
 present
         $version1 = implode('.', array_slice(explode('.', $version1), 0,
 2));
         $version2 = implode('.', array_slice(explode('.', $version2), 0,
 2));
     }

     // Use version_compare with the modified or full versions
     return version_compare($version1, $version2, $operator);
 }

 // Example usage
 echo wp_version_compare('6.6.2', '6.6', '<=', true);  // Outputs true

 }}}
