Thanks! I don't know if I agree with your "doesn't take backwards compatibility very seriously" point specifically, although they do indeed try to refresh the shell UX a bit. Specifically from their design document[0], there is no mentions of backwards compatibility (except in connection to configurations), but they do mention that one of the goals is to follow posix syntax as much as possible, so seems they do have some care about backwards compatibility.
And lastly, "breaking with the traditional way of doing shell stuff" doesn't necessarily mean "doesn't work on old hardware", just means that the shell UX will/can be different, but similar.
