Binary compatibility is only a pressing issue if the majority of the software you run is closed source and not provided by your distro.
Why waste time maintaining something which is not needed?

- josteink 8y agoI don’t care about closed source software. I don’t care about massive non-nerd adoption of Linux. None of those things benefit me or drives the things I care about. Either way: The enormous success of Linux despite these issues seems to be evidence contrary to your claim.
